Proverb 30: Meat Market Economics

Somewhere out in the suburbs in a rather typical neighborhood, a meat market opens its doors for business just as it has every morning for the past three decades.  There in the cool meat counter, brilliantly displayed and fresh as can be, two cuts of meat lay side by side.

Garnished and ready for sale, a beautiful slab of ground chuck beckons shoppers.  Yes it’s fatty, grisly, and may contain a small bone chip or two, but it’s fresh, tasty, and a favorite for backyard grilling parties.  Every day men line up to get their portion.

Right next to the ground chuck, another cut of beef is on display.  The filet mignon looks great too, and though some consider it to be a significantly better grade of beef, it shares the meat cooler with the ground chuck.

The ground chuck isn’t jealous of the filet mignon.  In fact, the chuck makes fun of the filet for not being as popular.  Two or three men per hour line up at the counter to purchase a filet, while ground chuck is in huge demand by dozens of men every hour.  Ground chuck ends up at parties in tacos, burgers and chili, and finds itself on all kinds of fun and exciting menus.

But one day things changed.  It was discovered that men were paying the butcher more for filet mignon than ground chuck, and this made ground chuck furious.

“How dare you devalue me!” said the ground chuck to the butcher “Filet Mignon and I are both beef, and we even came from the same cow.  There’s absolutely no difference between us at all!”

The butcher responded “Same cow, yes, but the two of you are very different cuts of meat and are desired for different reasons.  Filet mignon is an expensive delicacy because of its flavor and purity, while you are cheaper, more abundant, ground up, and contain fillers.  Men value the filet more, and they’re willing to pay more for it on special occasions.”

Ground chuck was shocked.  “What?  Are you telling me filet has been going to upscale dinners and I’ve been nothing but party food?  I’ve never been purchased for an upscale dinner, and I’m every bit as good as the filet.  This is all your fault because the butcher society has labeled me a cheaper meat based on outdated guidelines, and now everyone is buying into the stereotype.  This is 2011, and I demand equality!”

“I don’t think it works that way”, said the butcher.  ”The market sets the price, not me”.

Ground chuck responded “That’s bullshit.  I came from the same cow as the filet, so it shouldn’t matter that I’m a different cut of meat.  Besides, that’s what makes me special, unique, and popular to so many men.  I didn’t asked to be ground up with filler, it just happened that way, so I shouldn’t be valued less for it”.

Against the recommendation of the butcher, ground chuck appealed to the National Organization of Meat and asked for equality.  N.O.M. responded by making it illegal for the butcher to charge $26.99 per pound for filet mignon and only $3.69 per pound for ground chuck, calling it price discrimination.  N.O.M.’s position was that assigning a lower value to ground chuck would lower its self esteem and prohibit it from becoming filet mignon in the future while simultaneously refusing to acknowledge a difference existed.  N.O.M. censured the butcher society, shaming them as a bigoted and judgmental group for not treating all beef equally.  According to N.O.M., men had no right to decide for themselves where they would invest their capital, so they took steps to end beef discrimination once and for all. Ground chuck everywhere celebrated the decision.

Somewhere out in the suburbs in a rather normal neighborhood, a meat market opens its doors for business just as it has every morning for the past three decades.  There in the cool meat counter, brilliantly displayed and fresh as can be, set two equally priced cuts of meat side by side.

As usual, the men lined up to make their purchase.

All of a sudden, the line shifted.  The men were overheard saying “why would I buy ground chuck when filet mignon is the same price?”  Ground chuck was livid, and began screaming at customers, telling them all how horrible filet mignon was and how ground chuck was an exciting mix of flavors.  Ground chuck began shaming the men by telling them they had no right to value filet so much when each of them had purchased ground chuck dozens of times in the past.

A few betas caved in and bought the ground chuck at $26.99 per pound.  The rest of the men feasted on filet mignon that night.

Even with market forces staring it right in the face, ground chuck refused to budge on pricing.  It tried to reshape itself to resemble filets, and even switched places with the filet in the meat cooler, but nothing seemed to work because the men could easily distinguish between the two.  Day in and day out, the scene was the same: the majority of men chose filet though they would have gladly settled for a lesser cut if a lesser investment was involved.

As the ground chuck sat there all pissed off in the meat cooler with no one to purchase it, it began to grow old and crusty.  Finally the butcher had no choice but to pull it and throw it away because it was toxic and no longer suitable for consumption.  The ground chuck that once had a purpose – a low grade piece of meat that could be easily had for a cheap price – was now completely worthless.  It had overvalued itself and became irrelevant in the marketplace.

All over this great country of ours, ground chuck femcunts are demanding to be valued like filet mignon.  I struggle with this every time I meet a new chick.  You have no idea how many times I’ve been subjected to “why don’t we travel like you and your ex did?” or “why don’t you treat me as good as you treated her?” It’s a strange situation to be in because I can’t say “she was filet mignon, and you’re nothing but an old half-eaten wad of ground chuck” without having a fight on my hands.

One of my ex girls posted on her Facebook wall the old saying “Why would a man go out for a burger when he has steak at home?”  I laughed and thought about responding “He wouldn’t.  If a man goes out for a burger, it’s probably because he needs a break from the delusional burger at home that thinks it’s steak.”

I didn’t have the balls to post it.

Men, ground chuck serves its purpose, and I highly recommend it if you can’t afford or are not in the market for filet.  The problem is that beta fucktards will pay filet mignon prices for ground chuck day in and day out.  This screws up the market and creates an entitlement syndrome the rest of us are forced to deal with.

Betas: Please don’t fuck it up for the rest of us.  Those of us who are smart enough to refrain from paying premium steak prices just to get a little ass from some day old ground chuck would like to be able to do so without too much fuss.

Women: If you’re an emotional bitch and you’ve been a career bad girl, please acknowledge that you’re ground chuck at best.  Don’t worry, we’ll still eat you, but we’re not paying filet mignon prices for you.  So get your head out of your ass, acknowledge meat market economics, and realize that you can’t spend the first half of your adult life as ground chuck then turn yourself into filet mignon.  If you refuse to acknowledge that the men you’d like to marry have the right to have an opinion about how big of a bitch you are or be concerned about who has been nailing your ass all over the country, that’ll work too.  There’s a beta born every minute, and he’ll gladly put a ring on the hand you’ll use to sign the divorce documents in a few years.

Any man who would pay $26.99 per pound for your used up ass when he can get the same thing (often younger and fresher) for $3.69 is a fool.  Just remember, when you think your man isn’t treating you like you deserve, he’s probably displaying Alpha tendencies by refusing to pay more than market price. How many failed relationships have you had? How many men have you walked away from because they didn’t value you the way you thought they should?

That’s called an appraisal.

When in doubt, beta out; that’s the life raft you can use to paddle away from the sinking ship after you spent a decade drilling holes in the hull.  Have fun paddling through the sea of life towards the shore.  Don’t worry, the beta natives are friendly, and you’ll have plenty of time to sit on the beach and pine for the alpha pirates who fascinated you so much in your younger years.

Alphas: Continue staying within the guidelines of meat market economics if you want the greatest return on your investment.  Enjoy ground chuck as often as you can, because unlike women, our expiration date is connected to our wallets and not our age.  Women control access to sex, but Alpha males control access to commitment.  In the end it’s men, not women, who determine a woman’s sexual market value.  Likewise, it’s women who determine our sexual market value.  Betas can mimic alpha traits and snag some poon, and ground chuck sluts can mimic good girl traits and snag a beta for commitment, but the Alpha male rises above such posturing, correctly identifies both parties, and plays the two against each other for his own benefit.

    Very cleverly done. I know I’m going to end up linking to this a some point.

  2. My Name Is Jim says:

    Trouble for some guys is, there’s not enough filet mignon to go around, even to every guy who can afford it. For guys of a certain age the filet kinda runs out and chuck is all that’s left. Tick tock, buddy. The filet won’t wait around long enough for you eat all the chuck that’s available to you.

    [S2: I agree. The younger guys better get that Filet Mignon pretty early if its going to be important to them later on in life. If they don't, they'll be cursed with a life of variety, and be forced to spend their time with a long line of beautiful women who all seem to stay 26 years old even though he keeps getting older.

    Wait...

    Ok, I still agree with you, but the outcome for the man seems much less detrimental than that of the woman. Like I said in an earlier comment on another post, it's not like there's going to be a shortage of moderately attractive 34 year old single mothers who need a sponsor when I'm 45.]

  3. Lisa says:

    So what about a guy who wants to get married and have kids at a reasonably young age? If he’s destined to be a beta, does he ever get a chance to marry the filet?

    [S2: I fail to see how a young man who could attract and keep a *young* filet early in life is a beta.]

  4. Geoff says:

    Betas get hamburger OR an ugly but pure filet. Those are the choices.

  5. Brilliant writing as usual – the offspring of N.U.T.T.S.A.K. will be articulate, witty, and excellent writers. ;)

    But I have a question – what is a “career bad girl”? And do you think it’s possible for a woman to have a career and still be filet mignon?

    [S2: The term "career bad girl" actually came from my sister. When speaking about a girl who obviously had the hots for my brother-in-law, my sister said "I have to watch that whore. She fucks and sucks like it's her job". I had never heard words like that come out of my sister's mouth before, so it made an impression on me. Thus, the career bad girl.

    To answer your question directly, I don't think a woman having a career has anything to do with being or not being filet mignon. Besides, if you and I are going to put operation N.U.T.T.S.A.K. into play and bring a half Asian half Redneck baby into the world together, I expect you to be able to support me in the manner to which I am accustomed. I'm a very expensive man.]

  6. (r)Evolutionary says:

    Solly,
    great commentary, and an apt one for me since I”m currently on a grass-fed beef binge-eating as much of ground chuck, filet, skirt steak, and more, that I can afford. Plus I’ve been eating a lot of meat. Heh.

    Here’s the thing–Jim’s right, the filet won’t wait, but there’s so little of it out there that the market really disorts its pricing. Plus all the betas out there are acting as shill bidders on both ground chuck and filet, and the result is a cacaphonous market full of signal noise and poor pricing incentives. But the bottom line is, we as alphas can recognize the real gems, and when we get the IOI’s and ready-for-commitment signals from the geniune article, we need to jump on her, literally and figuratlively, and use all the game we’ve got to keep her in line.

    And yes, Lisa, any guy who can keep a young hottie is clearly alpha, by hook or by crook.

  7. A great post. The delusions of women in relationships, even the most horrific of women, is mind blowing.

  8. Lavazza says:

    revolutionary: “And yes, Lisa, any guy who can keep a young hottie is clearly alpha, by hook or by crook.”

    Wow! I was an alpha in my twenties even though I lost my virginity at the late age of 21.

  9. Lisa says:

    Hey, I want to get in on Operation NUTTSAK! No idea what it is, but of course I’m intrigued!

    Solomon, my question was: what happens if a beta wants a “good girl” but those girls are all holding out for the alphas? Does he just have to settle for the crumbs while the alpha gets to marry the cake?

  10. Solomon II says:

    @Lisa: Operation NUTTSAK is played out in the comments on this post by Ashleee Karen: http://ashleeekaren.wordpress.com/2011/01/29/the-most-important-thing-youll-ever-do/

    I’m going to knock her up so we can have a pretty half Asian half White baby.

    If a beta wants a good girl, he better get her early (Age 16 to 20) before she gets a taste of Alpha cock. High school sweetheart scenario turned dating through college, then right into a marriage ought to do it. If not, as Geoff said above, he’ll have to settle for the girl who is good, but only because she’s ugly or socially retarded. I guess it can work out differently, but I’ve never seen it. Anytime a man has argued to the contrary, he’s always a guy I’ve thought of as beta long before we had the discussion.

    Just my $0.02 of course.

  11. Career bad girl – not what I thought you meant but I got it now. I’m sure you’re aware that many PUA’s find women who are career minded (not career bad girls) to be masculine and lack a feminine vibe, and therefore undesirable for an LTR. Over on my blog it’s been described in a comment as “neutral at best.” So I find it interesting that you have a different take on it.

    As for maintaining you in the lifestyle to which you’ve been accustomed – you do strike me as an expensive man, in more ways than one, I’m sure. I’m an expensive woman so we have that in common…I wonder if the Spawn of N.U.T.T.S.A.K will take after his parents??

    [S2: I never really understood the career thing out of the manosphere myself. In my (brilliant) mind, I figure that if I get killed on a show set somewhere and my wife was left alone to raise my children, I would want her to be prepared to do so. Therefore, I don't think I'd consider a serious LTR with any woman unless she had a 4 year degree and either a good job OR the ability to get a good job if the situation warranted.

    I'll assume a lot of PUAs don't fancy career women because of the middle aged warpigs we have to deal with in the office. They truly are the worst human beings on the planet, and we shudder to think that some man is actually married to it.]

  12. jack says:

    I have only finished the first two paragraphs, but I am going to pause to comment right now.

    Effing.

    Brilliant.

    Can I get a t-shirt with the meat graphic and the two cuts labeled “you” and “what I’m looking for”, respectively?

    Could be fun at parties.

    [S2: I see a new S2 fashion line in the making. Don't think it would sell though.]

  13. VJ says:

    Interesting stuff. The econ needs some work, but the basics are there. Some quibbles:

    1.) I count about 4-5 ‘patties’ on that left ‘burger’. Strangely enough if you do the ‘real math’ on that? That’s actually representing parts of 100′s of cows. Not just one or a few, but dozens at a bare min. for each patty. Strange but true. So in comparison with the ‘mating game’ described? No substantial change envisioned.

    2.) Read about the ex awhile back and was heart broken for you from a distance, as likely anyone who reads it would be. There’s no need to explain really. Some men never develop a taste for fillet and are content with burgers all their lives! Would not look at fillet mostly. Don’t understand the need, rarely experienced the desire.

    Furthermore? Fewer & fewer people actually come to develop an appreciation for these ‘finer things of life’, which like all higher art is very difficult to explain to the masses. Hence most are perfectly content to eat their burgers their fast food chicken fried whatever and call it a day. (Burp!) We had our only 3 star Michelin restaurant go out of biz after a few years of operation in our small Southern town. There was not another one within an hours drive. And he could not educate our masses on the aspects of ‘finer food’ to save the venture. Now all we’ve got is differing versions of ‘fast food’. The fanciest thing we’ve got is Applebee’s. So mostly the fillets are gone early & don’t last long. It’s a youth thing mostly.

    3.) Never underestimate the ability of a lowly burger to transform into something that may appear fillet like in dim lighting. But then revert to burger form after sometime home. Even after extensive ‘cosmetic’ work too.

  15. Days of Broken Arrows says:

    Hehe. Great post. Reminds me a bit of that old Rush song “Trees.”

    One thing you could have added is that in times past, ground chuck knew it was ground chuck. But these days, Hollywood creates shows like “Meat and the City” that tries to convince everyone chuck is actually filet while filet is chuck.

    Alpha consumers can tell the difference.

  16. Lisa says:

    @Solomon- you can knock me up after Ashlee….while I still have a few good eggs left :)

    @Days- Good point. But I’m not about to blame Hollywood for creating entertaining, fictional TV shows and movies. If people want to believe that real life is like Sex and the City, Friends, etc, they are going to be extremely disappointed. A mature adult can tell the difference between real life and fantasy.

  17. Lavazza says:

    Sex and the City and the other books by Candace Bushnell are actually very close to Manosphere observations. I have not seen much of SATC but if I remember correctly at least the pilot is in the same vein as the book giving the series its name.

  18. Days of Broken Arrows says:

    “Sex and the City” as a TV show per se was just one element of its influence.

    The larger influence (and my larger point) was that the four stars of the show were on countless billboards, ads and magazine covers, etc. By making the stars (and characters) of this show a phenomenon, the media “gatekeepers” were sending a deliberate message to women that they could act like these characters and be their age and still be desirable. In fact, many articles at the time came out and said nearly this exact thing, claiming that the tables were turning on men, and now women were the “hunters,” etc.

    I don’t think the media’s spin on this really jibed with reality. I think once again, a generation of women were sold a false bill of goods about what constituted womanhood. The oddity became the norm, in other words, not because of the show itself but because of the media’s glorification of its baser elements.

  19. Solomon II says:

    “The oddity became the norm, in other words, not because of the show itself but because of the media’s glorification of its baser elements.”

    Bingo. The media didn’t make them do it, but it did help shape the culture to consider it the norm which should have no consequences. Once again, when thinking there would be no consequences for their actions, women embraced their true nature.

  20. Steve Johnson says:

    Great insight and analogy Solomon but I think you went a bit off in the middle.

    The chuck didn’t lobby for its price to be increased to match the filet, it lobbied so that the filet’s price would drop to match the chuck. [I don't know, man. I actually thought about that before I wrote it. I've never had a woman say "Hi. I'm a whore. Please value me less because of it." I think what you're saying is more of their short term solution in their younger years, but once they hit the magic age of 28, they all of a sudden value themselves through the roof.]

    Quality women can’t offer marriage 1.0 to guys – only marriage 2.0 is available. They can’t offer being thin and sweet because low quality women will just pretend until they get the ring. Quality women didn’t sleep around – low quality women do. Except if they’re with a marriage prospect! Then they discover that they don’t want to look easy.

    What really happened? Filet isn’t expensive it’s just that butchers can’t charge more for it so no one carries it any more. [Good twist. I like your line of thinking.] Chuck gets to be enjoyed at all those fancy restaurants and nice home meals (alpha men) that would’ve only been with filet before. [Interesting concept, but I think it fits more with a man's point of view. I wrote this story from the ground chuck's point of view.]

    [S2: Thanks for the very insightful comment. Much appreciated.]

But I’m A Gooood Perrrrson!

Posted on March 31, 2011 by

January 24, 2011 by Solomon II 55 Comments

Once again I’ve found myself having two choices: blog about my frustrations, or choke the life out of the next bitch who says something stupid to me.  Right now I’m in my office, and judging by who I can see hanging around outside my door, I think it’s best for me to just sit here and write.

80% of men are too beta to understand what I’m about to say, and the other 20% will find this rant rather rudimentary.  100% of women will ignore me completely and rationalize away any points I make with ad hominem arguments, or that singular example to the contrary they thought they may have heard someone mention at one point during a truth-telling contest at a church carnival two towns over.

Simpsons reference.  Go me.

So I’m basically writing to no one about a topic that’s not even debated – either you already know it and agree, or you’ve already ignored it and are waiting for an opportunity to kill the messenger.

If you’re the latter, here’s your chance.

For all the slut shaming, blatant examples of whoredom, and supporting empirical data regurgitated ad infinitum in the manosphere, there’s one rationalization hamster turd that keeps stinking up the joint.  Women always sling this turd in their desperate attempt to convince themselves and their target man that they’re worth more than just a warm place for his cock to find release.

This turd is so pungent, foul and sticky, that even the most Alpha of males grimace in its presence.  These days, your freshly busted girlfriend can stand naked right in front of God and everybody with the DNA of the man she was cheating on you with running down the inside of her thigh, look you straight in the eye and say “But I’m a good person”.

Women feel comfortable trying to set a man up with one of their friends who they know to be a lying and manipulating slut with a dick count damn near triple digits because “She’s a good person”.

A woman who is a total bitch, selfish, scheming, prone to cheating and eternally spotlighting will get righteously indignant with a man for not treating her like an itty bitty teensy weensy loveable princess because, despite her faults, “She’s a good person”.

A good person?  A GOOD PERSON?!  What the fuck kind of bullshit response is that?  Everyone is lovable most of the time. Everyone cares about their family most of the time.  Everybody is willing to perform random acts of kindness most of the time.  Everybody is nice to their neighbors most of the time.  Everybody puts someone else’s needs above their own most of the time.  Everybody is good to their partner most of the time. Everybody is faithful most of the time.

How many people do you know who are truly evil in every sense of the word?  I’m betting not many, if any at all.  How many people do you know that you can honestly say have absolutely zero redeeming qualities? I’m betting none.

Hell, even these people found someone to say something nice about them:

Amelia Dyer: “She was wonderfully affectionate and so good with the [240 + babies she murdered over a 20 year period].  She was warm and truly loving.  Such a caring woman.”

Timothy McVeigh: “He’s respectful of his elders, he’s polite.  He seemed like a nice kid and a genuinely good person all around [until he blew up the Murrah building in Oklahoma City].”

Andrea Yates: “She had adored them and always treated them with affection, kindness, and love.  She was a good mother [until she drowned her five children].”

Jeffrey Dahmer: “He was a nice person.  He never bothered anybody [unless he was eating them].”

Adolph Hitler: “He was a charming man, someone who was only ever nice to me, and a great boss to work for. He was good to us [I guess that whole Holocaust thing was a moment of weakness].”

Hillary Clinton: “She is a person of enormous intellect with in-depth knowledge on a number of issues [too bad she’s a total bitch].”

This whole “I’m a gooood perrrrson!” song women sing in shrill insincere unison is a farce and a smoke screen designed to keep a man from considering who he’s really dealing with.  By using generic adjectives like honest, loving, caring, trustworthy, helpful, kind, fun, etc., women guide men to ignore warning signs in favor of their traditionally mainstream traits – traits that 99.9% of the population amasses by default in polite society.  It’s kind of like a car manufacturer advertising “Our Cars Have Engines!” as a key differentiator and expecting a huge boost in sales.  Every car has an engine just as every woman is a good person.

Men, think about the traits women advertise as a reason to be in a committed relationship with them.  Most of those traits (loyalty, honesty, kindness, compassion, companionship, a giving heart, etc.) can be found in your best friends, family members, and for the most part, your Labrador Retriever.

Women fail to realize that the only thing that sets them apart from your best guy friend is their feminine mystique.  Best friend Tom may be a cool dude, but you probably don’t imagine yourself growing old with him, and you certainly don’t want him to be to be the mother of your children.  When women lose their feminine mystique by slutting around, cheating, or being a total bitch, the most they can hope for is to become “one of the guys”.  Sure they get preferential treatment for having a vagina, but like best friend Tom, they’re not viewed by men with options as someone to grow old with or as being motherhood material.

But ah, how we love finding those girls.  There’s no better way to fill your downtime while looking for a woman of character than with a cool, spunky, irreverent, sexually available casual fuck who’s allowed dozens of men to erode her femininity and tries to make up for it by being sexy.  She hangs out like one of the guys, fucks on command, and is a ton of fun to be around.  Because of the popularity that ensues, she confuses the bro-style adoration and respect she gets from the men in her circle with the I-can’t-picture-my-life-without-this-woman style of adoration and respect that men only have for a feminine creature of character.  Her delusion usually lasts until the guys who have been fucking her start marrying other women – but even then she still doesn’t get it.

Good times.

The next time your romantic interest pulls that “but I’m a gooood perrrrson” bullshit on you after lying again, being a total bitch again, or (my favorite) you finding out from one of her drunk ex college roommates that she’s a career cum dumpster for the masses, reject the argument as the turd it is.

Promiscuous women are like roller coasters: they’re exciting and always draw a big crowd of people waiting to take their turn, but in the end no one wants one at home – even if she’s a gooood perrrrson.

    Money!

  2. While not exactly as you put it, my soon to be ex (unless she changes her mind at the last minute) justified her deadly sin by saying “you weren’t the person I thought you were.” Yeah, so my deficiency in charm drove you to cheat. Anything to justify, right?

    [S2: Roissy's Maxim #11: Calling a girl out on her lie accomplishes nothing.]

  3. LS says:

    This is similar to the “they meant well” b.s. which people use.

    Like having “good intentions” is supposed to absolve someone of responsibility.

  4. “[S2: Roissy's Maxim #11: Calling a girl out on her lie accomplishes nothing.]”

    I know the gospel. This train is pretty much out of the station, so I saw no reason to follow the rule. When a chick is looking to the door, you don’t get on your knees begging her to stay. You open it and give her a pat on the ass as she leaves.

  5. Author says:

    Women have much the same response to “players,” Promiscuity is not an attractive quality for either sex. But I suppose you wouldn’t think of it like that, since you are so obviously into tricking women into displaying the very behavior that you claim to abhor, with your posts about preacher’s girls who send you sexts with their tits displayed.

    You complain about women with “loose morals,” but you bait them to become just exactly what you “say” you don’t like. And then you complain that you have no influence over women, and you blame all this on “feminism.”

    Feminism, real feminism, means that women and men are equal, in all aspects. This includes the divorce court, the paycheck, the household chores, and anything else you can think of. Feminism isn’t responsible for the culture of promiscuity. Men are. That’s what YOU want. You’ve demonstrated that quite clearly with your post about the sexting preacher’s daughter, and then you have the NERVE to complain that that woman is giving you EXACTLY what you want.

    You’re crazy.

  6. Author says:

    To Lavazza, if women were paid equal pay for equal work, like the Equal Rights Amendment wanted to achieve nearly forty years ago, then you wouldn’t have to worry about money being a motivation. Women would want to be with you just because they want to be with you, because you are you, and not because you have a great job or a great sports car, but because you are YOU. But most men find that threatening, because they will have to give up their power, which they still have, but bemoan because they do not still have 100% power.

    OMG. I feel SO SORRY for men because they aren’t in charge of literally EVERYTHING anymore. It’s so, so sad.

  7. Feminism, real feminism, means that women and men are equal, in all aspects. This includes the divorce court, the paycheck, the household chores, and anything else you can think of. Feminism isn’t responsible for the culture of promiscuity. Men are. That’s what YOU want. You’ve demonstrated that quite clearly with your post about the sexting preacher’s daughter, and then you have the NERVE to complain that that woman is giving you EXACTLY what you want.

    Being honest and being a slut are not mutually exclusive concepts. One of the linked posts shows that there was a girl who admitted to being a slut and guess what? Being a slut wasn’t the problem! Honesty goes a long way, but almost no one is honest when they’re a slutbag.

    Ever think that women are NATURALLY promiscuous? That their biological urges are, like any other animal’s urges, based on pushing the species to greater heights of genetic greatness? And how does one do that? By picking the first caveman and banging? No. The woman goes from man to man and letting the best sperm win. It doesn’t work in civilizations like ours. Not that ours will last.

    I’ve found that calling her out on an important or annoyingly repeated type of lie in a calm, stony way, definitely accomplishes things. It should be done with absolute calm certitude. What DOESN’T accomplish anything is getting all angry and emotionally invested in calling her out. The later is beta.

    Utter bullshiite. That’s the feminist cover story, i.e. cover lie. Feminist are looking for advantage and power over men everywhere. Where is the feminist concern now that women make up almost 60% of today’s college graduates, or 50% more than men? Instead feminists applaud this as a great victory for women — while school curriculums, recess, lots of small test, avoiding great weight on big term end exams, are all knowingly designed to help girls — at the expense of boys.

    Feminist are looking for advantage and power over men AND OTHER WOMEN everywhere. It’s nothing more than an old fashioned power grab, they’re just using the cover of feminism. It’s all the same shit, man. There’s nothing new under the sun.

  11. jack says:

    Author- Women are paid equally if you ignore the feminist lies and learn the truth.

    Second, men could not be promiscuous without the full support of women. For each ‘promiscuous’ male, there have to be several women willing to screw him.

    I really don’t care if you agree or not, I just want to let you know that guys like me are going to be smiling as feminism continues its descent into political oblivion. Feminism is reaching the tantrum point.

    Just like housing was overpriced in 2004, a last-ditch flurry of effort mounted an amazing rally in prices that blew up in everyone’s face.

    Feminism is approaching the bubble blow-off stage. There are probably going to be several high-profile gains for feminist causes in the near future, followed by men finally getting wise and rejecting feminism outright.

    Last little thing for you to savor:

    Without the cooperation of men, feminism could have never ascended as it did, nor can it be sustained. If you think you can support the feminist machine without the cooperation of the large number of white knights and manginas, you are wrong. With every white knight and mangina that takes the red pill (thanks to blogs such as this), you lose an ally and gain an opponent.

    The trend is on our side, not yours. Feminists have abused the privileges that men willingly gave them. We’re revoking them now, one by one.

  12. Author says:

    You lose a lot when you demonize feminists and women in general. Solomon II, over and over and over again, uses and manipulates, objectifies and lies to women and then bemoans the fact that he can’t find a faithful, truthful woman with which to have a relationship. It’s counterintuitive. How about treating women as people instead of spending all your time assessing our sexual market value and treating us as nothing more than living receptacles for semen? How about treating us with the same respect that you’d like to receive yourself? You only get what you give, to quote a popular song.

    Feminism was a response to women having limited choices and being screwed out of pay and being screwed over in the divorce court when the men they married dumped them after 20 years for a newer, younger model. They didn’t go to school and instead worked to put their men through school with the promise that those men would care for them for a lifetime. Then when they were dumped for the younger model these same men obtained custody of their children because the women couldn’t afford representation or the upkeep of their own children because they hadn’t gone to school or pursued careers as a sacrifice for these same men. They sacrificed for love.

    Women continue to sacrifice for men. You only have to look at the covers of “women’s” magazines to see this. They are focused on how to look more attractive for men, how to give their men pleasure, how to create a home for a man, how to cook for a man, how to take care of a man. It’s all about how to attract, get and keep a man. By contrast, “men’s” magazines are mostly about “game” and how to “score” with women, men’s health and fitness, career issues, and for those men who can’t get women, pictures of women naked or scantily clad, in images that they can masturbate to.

    Contrary to the manosphere’s prevailing belief, there are feminists out there who care about the imbalance about men enrolling in college, etc. But the fact that a bunch of white middle class men like to piss and moan about the fact that they’re still in power but not to the extent that they once were, just rings untrue. You’re not the underdogs. Not by a long shot. And what’s more, I don’t want you to be. I just want us to coexist in equality.

    When you stop making us the enemy and start seeing us as people, then you will find that there are women out there who aren’t promiscuous. There are women who are interested in real relationships and companionship and communication. But you have to get over your severely skewed paradigms first. The truth is that if you were really successful with women in the way you want to be that you wouldn’t need to focus your entire blog on your dissatisfaction with women. Do you ever write about anything besides how evil all women are and how to strategically humiliate them by treating them like sluts and then complain that they’re sluts because they’ve given you exactly what you wanted? Not that I can tell.

  13. Author says:

    Your preoccupation with youth and beauty and virginity is also increasingly counterproductive. The older you get the lesser your chances of attracting a pretty young thing who’s also “pure.” You aren’t pure yourself or even currently celibate. Why do you expect a behavior from a woman that you don’t engage in yourself? Why is that?

    Is it because you think that that woman should find you attractive because you are a meal ticket? I hear a lot of dissatisfaction with that concept in the manosphere, and yet this line of thinking just perpetuates the old world view that men are the wallet and women are the merely decorative objects, their virginity and their beauty their sole values.

    It seems to me that if this is your worldview you might be a lot more successful in a third world country where you could still openly hate women. You could get an underage virgin for six goats and a chicken and make a happy life for yourself. She wouldn’t be happy, of course, but then who cares about women? You certainly don’t.

  14. Squared says:

    @Author

    Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Is solomon’s worldview on modern male/female relationships the cause of his dissatisfaction, or is solomon’s worldview (a worldview that is being adopted by an increasing number of men, I should add) the best response to what he sees around him and what he has experienced?

    Evidently, you (and most women) naively believe the former, whereas the rest of us believe the latter. Now given that you a) have never had to deal with modern young women in the context of a sexual relationship (from the initial stages of courtship to the eventual break-up), and b) seem particularly disinclined to try walking a mile in someone else’s shoes, I’m not going to spend the next hour of my life explaining to you why your position is the weaker one (and thus why, from the error of your initial premise, everything else you have to say collapses). The next step in your learning is to give your rationalization hamster a break for a minute and try pondering these issues from a man’s point of view.

    “Don’t be an asshole to women”, a woman like you might say. “Be kind, gentle, respectful and loving, and you too will find love”. And yet, it’s this very attitude that has made the love lives of countless men emptier and colder than the coldest of siberian deserts.

    “Oh but that’s not being ‘nice nice’, that’s just being ‘pretend nice’ to try getting into a girl’s pants!” you might retort, in a meager and transparent attempt to absolve your gender of any responsibility for its terrible aggregate mate choices.

    Round and round we go…

    @Squared

    I’m sure you have been hurt by women, as women have been hurt by men. To view all this as completely one-sided is preposterous. I’m sorry you’ve been hurt by women. But this is a universal thing with people in romantic relationships. Even gay men and lesbians hurt each other in relationships. It’s not unique to the “relationship between the sexes.” I still maintain that the best way to be successful with the opposite sex is to, yes, be honest and kind. The best way to be truly successful, that is, if you want a REAL relationship and not just the kinds of relationships that Solomon seems to prefer from his admitted behavior.

    Also, I think that if men were not spending all their time pursuing the youngest and prettiest women only (regardless of their own social, financial or physical status), as in even the biggest losers (we have to presume this since ALL guys do it) spend the vast majority of their time pursuing only those women who have the most options available to them. I don’t particularly like the concept of sexual market value, but I admit it’s true. The thing is that everyone deserves to have a partner that they find attractive. But there are plenty of women out there who are plenty attractive, kind, honest, faithful women who aren’t given the time of day because men would prefer to pursue those shallow young things who are also being pursued by every other man in the universe. It’s no surprise that this produces the scenario you described of men experiencing hurt and rejection…over and over.

    Solomon II says he doesn’t like being called “sexist,” but the fact is that he is sexist. The double standard is inherently sexist. If you think that you, as a male, can chase all the tail you want but your value doesn’t diminish and this shouldn’t have anything to do with how a woman views you, then you’re wrong. YOUR past behavior, same as a woman’s, can definitely be indicative of what you can expect from a partner in a committed relationship.

    The statistics I’ve read on infidelity suggest that both men and women are about 60% likely to be unfaithful over the course of a marriage. Men are only slightly in the lead. Why is this? It’s because women now have options that they didn’t have before but men did. Before feminism women spent all their time at home with babies, for the most part. Thus, the jokes about the “mailman” and the “milk man.” On top of that, women relied upon men for their very survival because men were the meal tickets. A woman wasn’t prepared to support herself. Before she’d be unfaithful she’d be very careful to make sure that she either wouldn’t get caught or could presumably rely upon her cheating partner to take her current partner’s place as the bread winner. That meant that since men had the wealth, the options, and the opportunity that they cheated more often. There are some biological differences as well, but I think the reason women are closing the gap on this sad issue has more to do with social reasons I just cited.

    This doesn’t make women inherently evil, anymore than it meant that men were inherently evil. People do bad things, and they make mistakes. Infidelity is sad, but women aren’t any more or less likely to be untrue than men are, in the end. Feminism doesn’t promote unfaithfulness anymore than it promotes chastity. It promotes equality.

    Women still only make $.77 for every dollar a man makes. This explains, in my mind, why men are still expected to pick up the check upon initial dating. When I dated I always wanted to go dutch treat unless the man insisted, and then I accepted and said thank you. Of course, if I were knowingly dating a man who made less money than me (which I have always been open to), then I wouldn’t expect him to pick up the tab. We owe the majority of men a debt for, yes, agreeing with changing things. We have come a long way, and we wouldn’t have done so without the support of many men. We still have a ways to go, though, until the difference is nothing or slight at best. I don’t know about you, but if I were suddenly made to take a 25% pay cut for the same work that another co-worker was doing for my old salary I would be pissed. Why does it seem impossible for some men to understand this?

    Actually, if you look it up, feminists have been trying to find equal status, as in combat, in the military for a LONG time, and I am not opposed to women being drafted if need be in times of war.

I would not cower in a corner like women do in action movies, that are made by and for men. I acknowledge that not all women feel this way, but then not all women are feminists, either.

I’m open to your views; bring them on if you can do it without being insulting. That just digresses this to the level of American mainstream news: MSNBC v. Fox. That’s not news or dialogue.

    there is no evidence on the 1 euro to 70 cents wage gap, but the evidence that women are living in average 7 years longer (and thus have double the time after retirement, to live in peace), are making the decisions on what to buy, and get the majority of state support, which, is mainly paid for by men, is in the daddy governments books.

    From Forbes.com (http://www.forbes.com/2006/05/12/women-wage-gap-cx_wf_0512earningmore.html)

    Are Women Earning More Than Men?

    “When I was on the board of directors for the National Organization for Women in New York City during the 1970s, I led protests against the pay gap. I wore a “59 Cents” pin to reflect my objection to the discrimination I felt was the cause of women earning only 59 cents to each dollar earned by men. Now, since I’m a husband and father, discrimination against women isn’t just political, it’s personal.

    But one question haunted me through the years: If an employer has to pay a man one dollar for the same work a woman would do for 59 cents, why would anyone hire a man? If women do produce more for less, I thought, women who own their own businesses should earn more than male business owners. So I checked. I found that women entrepreneurs earn 50% less than their male counterparts.

    It’s not that women are less effective or productive–they just have different priorities. A 2001 survey of business owners with M.B.A.s conducted by the Rochester Institute of Technology found that money was the primary motivator for only 29% of women, versus 76% of men. Women prioritized flexibility, fulfillment, autonomy and safety.

    After more than a decade of research for my book, Why Men Earn More, I discovered that men and women make 25 work-life choices that actually create a wage gap. Men make decisions that result in their making more money. On the other hand, women make decisions that earn them better lives (e.g., more family and friend time).

    Click here for a slide show of ten ways women can make more money.

    But what happens when women make the same lucrative decisions typically made by men? The good news–for women, at least: Women actually earn more. For example, when a male and a female civil engineer both stay with their respective companies for ten years, travel and relocate equally and take the same career risks, the woman ends up making more. And among workers who have never been married and never had children, women earn 117% of what men do. (This factors in education, hours worked and age.)”

  34. Author says:

    Thank you for proving my points above if you connect the dots. I have my own bog, and if you want to visit you can: [Edited].wordpress.com. [If you want to advertise here, send me a check.]

    The points that I was trying to connect above is that women sacrifice for men and love, continually, over and over and over again. The reasons that many women make the choices they make in life is because they want men to love them, and they feel that the only way that men will love them is if men are in power. The backlash to feminism is in part due to the response that straight women have to the fact that straight men are not really okay with equality in their individual lives. They want to be king of the castle, and I can’t blame them. I would like to be the queen of my castle, if I could find a Prince to be okay with that, but, no, men want to be in charge, and in power, and even the concept of a King and Queen who rule equally is not okay with them, so women sacrifice to still be in the good graces of men.

    As only some good examples, you have Elizabeth Dole, which you’ve previously mentioned, Hillary Clinton, and Elizabeth Edwards. All of them had law degrees and were keenly interested in public service, and yet all of them sublimated their own career ambitions at one time or another, in order to support their men in the mens’ ambitions. Whether pragmatically or sacrificially, they supported their men in their goals while they stood in the background and portrayed dutiful, second class wives.

    Equal opportunity needs to take into factor psychological and social and financial factors as well. How much pressure is placed upon women to sacrifice for their men? And why don’t men take these things under consideration? Because they don’t want to, because they will have to admit how much women who are equally capable sacrifice for men to continue to be in power, out of love for men. They sacrifice because they feel that that is the only way to have a relationship with a man, and given your response, I feel that if their priority is to be with men, they are exactly right about their assumptions. Men are uncomfortable with women having equal status, and they will withhold their affections unless a woman lets them be in charge.

    I noticed that the author of the article you cited is a man. Can you find a woman who feels the same way and doesn’t cite the same reasons I just gave you?

    I assure you that I am sincere. I find it sad that women live longer than men because it mean that many women will live alone in their twilight years. i wonder if current statistics, since women have been treated more equally in the workplace, show as great a gap. And do women who earn as much or more, as in the statistics that Solomon II just cited, still live 7 years longer than men? Do they? I somehow doubt it. I think that the mortality gap can be largely explained by the fact that women make career sacrifices for family while men make the opposite decisions, in part due to societal pressures to do so.

    Solomon,

    Among some women, the more they manipulate and be bitchy and have lots of meaningless hookups, the more they also get invested in a Florence Nightingale do-gooder image of themselves. Classic compensation mechanism. One of these (and yes I did hook up with her once, this was when I was in college) is the only person who I ever defriended on Facebook. She is a nursing professor who does work in south america pro bono since she knows the language, totally intelligent and likes to charitably serve but emotionally screwed up like crazy. She called her poor SOB of a husband out over something he said during an argument, over Facebook in front of everybody they knew, no context given, just the R-rated sound bite.  Which is why I defriended her but I’ve got more bad stories about her of course. All her girlfriends think “she’s a wonderful person” (that’s a verbatim quote from another mutual FB friend). But none of these women who say that actually have to date her!  Heh. Some toxic girls compensate by being martyrs in other ways. Doesn’t make them any better choices as girlfriends, does it.

    http://gooseberrybush.wordpress.com/2011/02/01/the-oscar-curse/

    You guys pretty much prove with all your comments that this is, in fact, true.

  44. terre says:

    You implied that men (again, you didn’t qualify which men, so I’m inferring you mean the entire male species) are so overwhelmed with women desperate for their affections that women are just running themselves ragged. But in the same comment, you noted that male magazines are for sexual losers who need help attracting women. I would hope that as an adult human being, you don’t need my help with either the logical or arithmetic problems glaring out in your theory like a bunion on a pig’s ass.

  45. Author says:

    I honestly think that your comments all mean that you want to forever live in your little microcosm where men are still in charge, and they can still play the world’s tiniest violin about the fact that they’re less in charge than they used to be and that women are still rightfully incensed about the fact that they’e treated like second class citizens. Your male chauvinism and refusal to listen or dialogue or debate intelligently and instead preferring to make insults results in you remaining single and laying young stupid things. Lay the young stupid things for as long as you can. I know that that will make you temporarily happy. Eventually even they will catch on to you. And the lasting relationships that you long for will be impossible because even the young stupid things will catch on to the fact that your ideology is nothing new. It’s the same old male chauvinism that’s been in control since before feminism began. Your ideals are nothing new; make women play second fiddle to men; it’s as at least as old as the Bible. But don’t be surprised when even the young, stupid things get tired of it eventually, since you are so closed minded as to want to live in your own tiny universe and not at least give us the chance to converse with you equally and instead hurling insults at us for citing academic articles with relevant statistics that might challenge your beliefs. I didn’t do that when confronted with Solomon II’s article. Instead, I acknowledged it and its points and then countered. But if you want to look ignorant and threatened, then go ahead and continue to live in your tiny world where you’ll always be “right” and “in charge.”

    If all you want to do is to continually lay young pretty things, then at least admit to being nothing but players. Nothing new there as well. Playas have been in existence, well, forever. By pretending to be the manosphere, which is something supposedly novel, you are doing nothing but lying. You don’t care about women or want to be in relationship with them. You just want to get laid and be in charge. At least be man enough to admit it.

    [S2: Please make up your mind if we're in charge, just want to be in charge, or are lamenting that we're not as much in charge as we once were. You can't credibly argue all three points whenever they tickle your fancy. I'm not in charge of you, yet you're old and single. The men commenting here are not in charge of you, yet you're old and single. The men in your past weren't in charge of you, yet you're old and single. So who's fault is it? Which man are you choosing to blame for your spinsterhood? Do you blame men, or do you blame yourself? The former will find you no sympathy here, and the latter would make you unqualified to comment on this subject.

    You make statements like "Lay the young stupid things for as long as you can." and "Whether pragmatically or sacrificially, they supported their men in their goals while they stood in the background and portrayed dutiful, second class wives." And describe even very "strong" women as knowing they must kneel before men or men "will withhold their affections unless a woman lets them be in charge."

    You criticize women for their decisions far more than I do. The only difference is you criticize them for their actions between 9am and 5pm, and I criticize them for their actions between 5pm and 9am.

    It's widely accepted that a person has lost the debate when they resort to name calling. I hope that's not the vibe I send out here, but I simply must point out that you're by far the dumbest cunt I've ever conversed with. Just the fact that you have internet access and your own computer proves that men are not as in charge as they'd like to be.

    Now either shut the fuck up and go run for President, or get your wrinkled ass in the kitchen and make me a sandwich.]

  46. terre says:

    Author, can you answer my comment instead of studiously ignoring it?

  47. Author says:

    Again, you prove with your comments, that you are really threatened with dialogue. My “wrinkled ass,” as you call it, isn’t anymore wrinkled than yours, as far as I can tell. I am 39. How old are you? Do you want to offer that information, or are you going to continue to pretend that you’re Ashton Kutcher with a fat bank account? Are you going to offer photos of your wrinkled ass alongside those of the young women that you feature regularly on your blog. I don’t claim to be a young woman or a hot woman or a promiscuous woman anymore than I claim to be a virgin; I tell the whole truth on my blog. I might not post photos, but I offer my height, weight and size quite honestly.

    Will you tell yours? Do you rely on your wallet to get young, stupid things to sleep with you and then brag about it and judge them for their behavior while you don’t judge yourself for yours?

    I admit how old I am, my size, my career success, or lack thereof. I don’t want to run for President (which I’ve clearly told you before), but I woufld vote for a woman who wants to run, as long as she’s not Sarah Palin or someone equally stupid. I might even vote for a Republican woman, even though I’m not a Republican, like Elizabeth Dole, for instance. Like you, I found her appealing, even though she was the “mistress” in his first marriage, a fact that doesn’t make it into the “news.”

    We are not at odds about as many issues as you imagine. The point in commenting on this blog is at bridging the gap, not creating a greater gap. I know I’m not “dumb,” because I can talk, you ignorant dipshit. I’m not stupid, either. I have an IQ of over 130, which doesn’t make me a genius or a “cunt,” either.

    Believe it or not, I am trying to facilitate honest communication between us, but if you discount my comments based on my “wrinkled ass” or calling me a “cunt,” then you are doing nothing but proving my most extreme point that men in the manosphere are only misogynists in bad disguises.

    Do you want that to be your legacy? That you are only interested in the viewpoints of those who agree wholeheartedly with you? Or that you are only interested in the viewpoints of women who are “hot” enough to make it onto your list of women you would fuck? Don’t you realize that in dismissing and discounting the viewpoints of women based on their mere physical attractiveness just PROVES my theory? Give me something more, MORE, MORE. Give me something that proves that you aren’t just the same ol’, same ol’ male chauvinist of yore. I get that you don’t want to be seen as that; then, don’t act like that. With that article from Forbes I actually thought that that might, just might be the case, but when you resort to pejorative name calling, you’re just proving you’re STUPID. I don’t think you are stupid; give me something smart that I can respond to so that we can agree on some things. I’ve already given you some concessions; give me something REAL.

    [S2: Ah, the theatrics when a woman finally runs across a man who has the balls to point out her flawed logic and call her a dirty name just for good measure. I’ll be working SXSW in March, so if you’d like to pop over and buy me a beer, I’ll gladly call you a cunt straight to your face. Is that real enough for you?

    I think Terre had a question for you, didn’t he? Called you out twice, if I’m not mistaken. I implore you to answer him, but try to keep it to one or two paragraphs because I find your writing style to be as trite as it is incoherent.

    This is the last you’ll hear from me unless I get an invitation for a drink. You’re buying. Make sure you shave and wear something pretty for me, or I’ll lose interest pretty quickly.]

  48. Author says:

    @terre

    I didn’t say that all men require magazines in order to get off. Some men who are in relationships with women still use them; that’s fair. Also, not all women sacrifice career for love; some women prefer to be stay at home moms; some women really don’t want relationships or children; some women are lesbians, etc. I am talking in generalities and stereotypes. I acknowledge that, but then so are men in the manosphere when they talk about all women who are straight and unmarried and in their 30s as being “washed up” whores. Or as being “unmarriagiable” freaks.

    For the record, for the most part, in my twenties I was an attractive thin woman who was also a virgin. I was described as pretty and cute. A redheaded Meg Ryan might be a good description. Men who see photos of me from ten years or so ago are amazed at how I’m still single.

    Players didn’t appeal to me. They still don’t. I wouldn’t have fallen for Solomon II’s exploits. I met a lot of Solomon IIs. I didn’t give in to them. I wanted to be married to a man who would treat me equally, who shared my Christian beliefs, would recognize my virginity for the gift it was and appreciate me for my intelligence and sense of humor and my soul, as much as he would appreciate my body or beauty. That didn’t happen. I remained a virgin until I was 29; I didn’t make up for lost time once that happened. I don’t hate men for that. It didn’t happen. That’s that. For one thing, men have a longer shelf life with the opposite sex; I don’t like that, but it’s true, and it’s not a man’s fault. For another thing, women outnumber men here in the U.S., which means that even if the age thing isn’t a factor, sheer numbers mean that some women who are otherwise quite “marriagiable” will simply not have prospects due to the fact that women outnumber men.

    But to judge me as “bitter” or a “whore” just because I don’t happen to agree with every viewpoint that’s espoused by the manosphere is just wrong. I love men. I have a lot of men friends. I even have a lot of views about relationships that I think men would agree with, including those men of the manosphere. Dalrock posted a link about marriage that I wrote that got a compliment from one of his fellow manosphere bloggers.

    I find it disheartening that Solomon II discounts my views just because they don’t always agree with his. He always name calls first. It doesn’t have to be that way. I wouldn’t bother to post here if I didn’t care about bridging the gap. Please don’t make me pay for the fact that I actually want to engage in a discussion with you so that we can hopefully learn from each other. Don’t dismiss my views as being those of a “troll” or a “hampster.” I’m a woman. I won’t call you a pig, unless you call me some kind of animal first.

  49. Author says:

    I wouldn’t buy you a drink anymore than I would Satan, which is about the same thing. By the way, you’re still STUPID, MYSOGINISTIC AND A MALE CHAUVNISTIC PIG! Nothing new here. Same ol’, Same ol’. Don’t be surprised when women won’t want to commit to your promiscuous sad bitter wrinkled ass! You’re nothing but a bitter woman hater, and you’ve finally proven it. Congratulations, “Solomon.”

  50. terre says:

    Actually, at your age range there’s an equal number of men to women (and men form a higher percentage of live births; I’ll leave you to wonder why we taper out so quickly and don’t live as long).

    Because you’re having immense difficulty answering a very simple question, I’ll put it another way: you claimed that women are always sacrificing themselves for their men, and then in the same breath noted that men’s magazines are directed at helping men get a woman. Clearly some women are apparently sacrificing themselves for nothing. Or could it be that they’re not “learning how to give pleasure” to all men? Perhaps, given the obvious disparity in situations between the sexes, women are giving these learned pleasures to a small group of men? What might such a group look like, do you think?

  51. Steve Johnson says:

    “Your male chauvinism and refusal to listen or dialogue or debate intelligently and instead preferring to make insults results in you remaining single and laying young stupid things. ”

    Oh no, not that.

    Why do women believe that they gain wisdom by merely getting older rather than through experiencing difficult things? Indulging your every sexual and dietary whim and expecting someone else to bail you out isn’t a life that will gain you wisdom. Learning how to bed women does – you need to understand how to get what you want from a person who may not want to give it to you when they first hear your pitch. Working at a paper shuffling do nothing job doesn’t give you experience – working in a job where you actually accountable for results does. Women, of course, tend to be allergic to those environments.

    The only thing that women do that can grant them some measure of wisdom is raising good children. Not just raising children, raising good children – which requires work and discipline on the part of the parents to do what’s in the long term best interests of the parents and children.

    Old women who haven’t done those things aren’t any smarter (read: wiser) than young women, they just look worse.

  52. terre says:

    Is there seriously anything funnier than a woman trying to ‘condemn’ a man to a lifetime of “bedding young things”? Oh, please no! Anything but that!

  53. Solomon II says:

    Ah, the cattle I prod just to give us all a little entertainment…

I’m not a Superhero, but I play one in real life.

Posted on March 25, 2011 by

January 20, 2011 by Solomon II 11 Comments

Be it from men or women, I never hear a comment once and form an opinion or write about it.  I usually have to hear the same thing from multiple sources before I give it serious thought.

In just the past two weeks, three different people – one woman and two men – have made similar comments about me which I thought were flattering, but way off base:

MALE COWORKER: Damn, dude, who the fuck was that?  I thought you had a hot ass client, but then you kissed her on the way out of the design department. After that chick, that girl Samantha, and that shit you pulled in Baltimore, we’ve all decided you’re our hero. I wouldn’t have believed Baltimore if I hadn’t been there to see it myself.  Man, you need a cape.

EX GIRLFRIEND: I saw her on Facebook, and I swear I don’t know how you do it.  You’re an asshole, you’re old, and you’re not particularly good looking.  I don’t even know how you got me, to be honest.  You’re like a Super Villain or something.  You need to get yourself a Villain costume so women know to stay away from you.

MALE FRIEND: [Via Gmail] What’s up Superman? Did you fuck that Russian chick yet?  Don’t let me down, you’re my hero and I live vicariously through you and Bill.  Gail says hi, by the way.  She said she loves and misses you and she’ll cook for you again anytime you drag your nasty ass back to Florida.

I also ran across a vinyl that’ll make you jealous.  Old school Statesmen Quartet stuff with Big Chief singing bass during the early 50’s.  I’m researching it now, but I’d say 1952.  No, you can’t have it, but I’ll play it for you if you suck my dick.

Adios, and call me sometime, fucker. Don’t let your cape get caught in some 20 y/o chick’s ass crack or you may starve to death trying to get it out.

Love you, brother.

I find it funny how some people view me.  I post a lot of stuff about the women I bang, and even attach pics when I can just to make it interesting, but like most writers, I only post my success stories.  I’ve never written about the dozens upon dozens of times I’ve been shot down just in the past few months alone.  I’ve been blown off by some of the finest ass in the city, and shot down by more average looking girls than I can count.  Likewise, my friends and coworkers only see me out with different women, but they’re not there to see me get rejected over and over.

I’m writing this because the emails I’ve been getting lately are from young high school and college men who come to me for advice about picking up women.  From the tone of their emails, you can tell they think I simply walk into any bar in the city, choose the hottest bitch, and take her home with little or no effort.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

I’ve posted a few of my success stories for two simple reasons: first, it makes for good reading, and second, I’d like to inspire young men to get out there and get some ass instead of going through dry spells while waiting their turn to marry some Alpha dude’s leftovers.

But there’s a reason why I only post pickup stories every month or two, and that’s because I only sleep with a new girl every month or two.  I refuse to lie or embellish on this blog just to increase traffic or make myself look like a mega player, so I only write about actual events.

Although there are undoubtedly numerous men reading this blog who do much more volume than I do, I still seem to have a few readers, coworkers, and even ex girlfriends who think I’m some sort of Superhero when it comes to picking up women.  Again, that’s because they’re only exposed to the highlights of my life (sleeping with three different women in one day, picking up young waitresses, banging sisters, one night stands while traveling, etc.) and never the lowlights (getting snubbed by two chicks at a friend’s birthday party, getting shot down with a vengeance by a chick in line at 7-Eleven, damn near being invisible at clubs half the time, traveling for work for a whole week and not getting laid at a marketing convention of all places, etc.).  In the end, I’m starting to think I may be doing more harm than good for the younger men who read my blog by only posting success stories.

Here’s what I usually have to say to the high school and college age guys who ask me for advice about picking up women:

[Name],

First of all, thanks for reading my blog.  I truly appreciate your time, and I’m honored that you would come to me for advice.

I don’t consider myself to be a pickup artist (PUA) in any sense of the word, but I do consider myself to be a persistent undeterred asshole (PUA).  I’m not going to write about game in this email, because there are far more competent and capable men out there who can give you some pointers.  I just want to make it clear to you that the key to my limited success lies in one attribute: my ability to be unfazed by rejection.

I don’t really give a righteous fuck what any woman thinks of me regardless of how attractive she is, so I can get shot down 10 times in one night and walk away without doubting myself.  Why? Because though I had 10 rejections, I spoke with 11 girls, and girl #11 will be fucking me by the end of the week guaranteed.

Even with game, it’s all about persistence in the face of rejection.  A man without game may have to talk to 20 women to get one lay, where someone with game may only have to talk to three or four.  But game or not, persistence and having no fear of rejection is key.

Consider this: The most women I’ve ever slept with in one calendar week is five.  Out of those five, only one was a new girl I had met during that week, and the rest were ex girlfriends, fuckbuddies, and a girl who thought she was my girlfriend.  It’s not a difficult task like you seem to think it is.  In fact, I believe the only reason I’m doing it and you’re not is simply because you don’t want to.

It’s not hard to keep women on the line.  You don’t have to be a master PUA; all you have to be is cognizant of your goals and eternally persistent.  It sounds like a lot of work, but in time, it’ll become second nature to you and you’ll be up to your nuts in a variety of pussy.  Even if you’re a beta, you’ve had at least one girlfriend in your life.  Stop and think about what you did to hook up with her – even if your game was pathetic – and simply do that four more times in a row.  If you do, viola! You too will be fucking five different girls in one week.

I don’t have X-ray vision, other PUA/Game bloggers can’t leap tall buildings in a single bound, PUA training camp instructors don’t have mind control capabilities, and that guy you see in class who tells you sordid tales of random hookups isn’t made of steel.  They’ve simply perfected a version of game that works for them, and they’re persistent in the face of rejection.

If we can do it, you can do it.  And if you can do it, then you most definitely should.

Here’s a little tough love for you: Stop sending me emails at 11:45 on a Friday night, and go get yourself some ass.  There’s no reason for you to sit in your room writing to me about picking up women while some asshole you don’t even know is banging the chick who will someday be your wife.

Study game, study female psychology, and work on your fear of rejection.  But above all, put down your fucking laptop, wash your nut sack, and go out there and meet some women.  I will delete your next email without even fully reading it if the first paragraph doesn’t contain a recent story of you picking up a woman OR being rejected by a woman.  Either would be considered progress at this point.

Thanks for writing, and take care.

    Consider this: The most women I’ve ever slept with in one calendar week is five.

It’s not a difficult task like you seem to think it is.

    I’d like to see you write more about this — harem management.

  2. Solomon II says:

    @Doug1: I would, but I’m awful at it. A Harem that that big usually ends up lasting no more than two months tops before it ends up eroding down to just two or three girls. I’m so goddamn busy, I just can’t keep up. I lost a slew of them over the Holidays – what with me not buying presents or calling very much.

    I’m only seeing two girls right now, but I have a feeling one is on her way out because she wants more than I’m willing to give. I’ll try to replace her as soon as possible, but unfortunately she’s the hot one, so it may take a month or two to find someone of equal beauty.

    Harem management is hard work. I can build a harem pretty easily, but I can’t keep it together.

  3. Anonymous says:

    This is my life. Friends and coworkers think I’m a pimp while I see myself as a guy with averse skills.

    I don’t even bother exposing anything to anyone anymore. If they think I’m a pimp then I let them think that. If they ask I say I was born with it. Makes my life easier.

  4. Doug1 says:

    Two to three girls for more more than a couple of months is pretty good harem management.

  5. G says:

    Anonymous above is me.

    2-3 girls is easy. For me that’s a comfortable limit.

    The goal is to have three. When I have three I barely go out. When it drops to two I start going out more. If it’s down to one I get “desperate.” And if it ever hits zero I’m out every day (Personal rule – I don’t masturbate).

    More than 3 girls is hard unless some of them are once in a blue moon fuck buddies (girls with boyfriends usually, otherwise they wanna fuck all the time).

  6. Doug1 says:

    These days I’m a pretty settled older guy with a gorgeous live together gf about 20 years younger, who “let’s me” play once in awhile, and with whom I’ve done some fmf threesomes. About 3.5 years in. This is just what I want at this stage. It’s really great.

    But yeah at other stages I too worked for an ideal three girls at a time. Rarely there might 4 sort of, i.e. two fuck buddies one of whom might not be that available or was in another city, so she was a when traveled there girl (married), and similar. But available girls in one place more or less, yeah three. But probably more often two, with working on a third who would go into rotation (usually without admitting that, unless a fuck buddy, without sticking to demanding exclusive commitment tests or promises.

    But I’ve also been simply monogamous for periods aside from my 6 years no kids marriage. Well not that many periods aside from my marriage, where I did cheat in the end. We actually agreed I could some before marrying but she completely ignored that when she discovered I had.

    [S2: One of my favorite quotes from my father is "I can't keep one woman happy, so I don't see any reason to piss off two of them." That being said, three is more than enough for any man. Two good ones is probably about right.]

  7. VJ says:

    I saw the pic that was briefly up, and I’ve got to say I’m tending to the ExGF’s thoughts on the looks dept. But otherwise? Solid advice, and excellent story telling. Which is why the whole is more entertaining than not. I’m not quite at the age of ‘ol Philly in the prior story, but certainly no longer dating. But gaming women is still entertainment. And damn simple to do almost anywhere to relieve boredom. What can I say? I never got into the other ‘gaming’ scene. But I appreciate the writing. To me you look like a younger Frank Langella, but good luck finding a pic of him at the same age, I guess! Cheers, ‘VJ’

    [S2: Hey, us ugly guys need lovin' too. Besides that, I think Frank Langella is a rather distinguished looking gentleman.]

  8. anonymous says:

    @Doug1, at your age , did you use Viagra for the fmf, or just go without the condom?

  9. TAllagash says:

    forming your own unique brand that works for you is solid advice. that and getting used to rejection to the point that it brings a smile to your face, learn to completely ignore what they say and watch what women do.

    you’ll find the dissonance in their world is staggering.

  10. StrikeforceMorituri says:

    I’ve been reading your posts for quite some time and you always pretty much nail it on the head everytime. It’s one of the reasons why I closed down my blog. I can’t agree with you more about just getting out there and just going up to women and saying hello or Hey! I love that you were honest about the fact that you’ve been blown out of the water by chicks, Hell I remember all the times I was dismissed by women concurrently only to go home and look at some youporn, but that satisfaction when I snag a real stunner keeps me addicted to going out and banging new chicks.

    A lot of guys just cant handle rejection as everyone these days is used to instant results, combined with “I’m a special snowflake” mentality that I only was in the realm of female minds.

    Also managing 2-3 women actively can be a pain unless you’re straight up with them.

Proverb 28: Women Can Age Beautifully

Posted on March 25, 2011 by

January 18, 2011 by Solomon II 60 Comments

A while back I was in Las Vegas for a new product showcase.  We were a few men down, so I ended up working the booth with two of my clients.  One is a 28 year old player from Brooklyn, the other, a 72 year old Irishman from Philly with last name I still can’t pronounce.

Since the three of us had worked together several times before, we could talk freely during the slow hours.  My phone and Brooklyn’s phone started buzzing one afternoon with girls sending dirty pics and telling us to hurry home for our “surprise”.  Of course, Brooklyn and I had given different return dates to each woman to ensure that we would have a full night to enjoy the surprises without our phones blowing up.

“I’ll be back Monday, can’t wait to see you” to Michelle, “I’ll be back Tuesday, can’t wait to see you” to Jennifer, “I’ll be back Wednesday, can’t wait to see you” to a different Jennifer, a.k.a “hot Jen”, and “I’ll be back Thursday, can’t wait to see you” to Rachael was my deal.

Brooklyn had me beat by two bitches.  The nerve of some guys.

When the pic on your left [ommitted] graced my screen, Old Man Philly started laughing uncontrollably.  He started going on and on about how much better it is to be a “young buck” today than it was back in his day.  He was wowed by how I could turn my screen from side to side and zoom in on her tits, and just stood there shaking his head with a big grin on his face.

You kids crack me up.  This is unbelievable!  How do you talk these girls into letting you take pictures of them like that?

We don’t, Philly.  They take them with their own phones and send them to us.

You gotta be kidding me?  Why in the hell would a lady do something like that?

They’re not ladies.

Un-freaking-believable.  If I had a daughter and she did something like that for you two yard birds, I’d send her to the street corner so at least she could get paid for being a goddamn whore.

I guess they like the power of being sexually desirable.

Where the hell do these girls find power in having an old geezer like me look at their ass?  Surely they know you two idiots are going to show these around.

Let me tell you two knuckleheads something…

Thinking we were in for a 30 minute sermon on the evils of taking up with women of ill repute, Brooklyn and I pulled up two chairs, turned our phones off, and gave our full attention to Old Philly out of respect.

As usual, he wasn’t short on advice, but we were shocked at what he had to say.

If I were you boys, I’d fuck every last one of these little whores.  If I had the unfortunate occurrence to be 31 in today’s world, I’d show those women a thing or two.

Wow.  Not what we expected.

Both of my boys are married to two of the biggest bitches and liars on the planet.  Jim is an aeronautical engineer with Boeing, and Tony is a corporate lawyer for Apple.  I raised both of them to have balls big enough to handle anything, but these harlots give them hell constantly.  Women these days are spoiled and irreverent, and they’re not worth more than a fuck.  One of my boys played College football in New York, and the other in Pennsylvania. I taught them to be men, not pussies.  But I swear to God these two bitch daughters-in-law of mine have my whole family worked up.  They threaten divorce, flirt with other men on the computer, and send those things that are like phone emails [text messages] to other men with words that are inappropriate for a married woman.  My sons find them later, but they can’t say anything or they’ll end up in a screaming fight or divorce court.

I told both of my boys that I was disappointed in them for letting women get to them like that, but after I started talking more to those two cunts [yes, the old man really said “cunt”], I realized that even I couldn’t do a thing with them.  I mean, it’s crazy.  You can’t punch them, but that’s exactly what they need.  They need a man to knock the shit out them and then see how independent and feisty they feel.  Both of those bitches are worthless, and need to be put in their place.  They’re both brats.

I’m glad you two boys are smart enough to see through that mess and deal with these girls they way they deserve.  Keep treating them like the rubbish they are unless you want to end up like my two boys.

Brooklyn and I were shocked.  First of all, we had just heard the C word and the F bomb dropped by a man who hadn’t said a curse word in the three years we knew him.  The man won’t even tell a dirty joke at a bar if there’s a female bartender or a “lady” anywhere within earshot.

Naturally, Brooklyn and I chimed in, telling Old Man Philly about the girls we’ve been with and how while many of them certainly had their charms, there’s not a damn one of them worth the time and effort in the long run.  As the trio stood there ignoring potential clients in lieu of woman-bashing and comparing naked photos of random chicks on our phones, Brooklyn made a comment about one girl’s tits.  He said “yeah, but when she’s old and wrinkly, those things will be disgusting”.

That’s when Old Man Philly changed his tone.

Women can age beautifully, you know.

Uh oh.  That sermon we expected earlier was about to be delivered.

Let me tell you boys something.  I don’t take back anything I said about you guys running around with these little girls, since that’s evidently all that’s available these days.  But there’s no reason for you to disrespect my wife.

Sorry, we didn’t mean to be disrespectful to…

Shut up.  Both of you.

Yes sir.

Listen to me.  A good woman ages beautifully.  When I look at my wife, I see the most gorgeous woman in the universe.  Her wrinkled hands got that way by keeping up with my two boys and working hard for them while I was on the road.  The lines under her eyes are from years of shedding tears for me when I was at war, and those wrinkles on her brow are from decades of worry for me and my two sons.  It was her legs they held on to when they were learning to walk, her lap was where they learned to read, and her breasts were their first nourishment. The first kiss those boys ever received was from her lips, and God willing, my last kiss will be from her lips.

You two don’t know what you’re missing – or maybe you do.  But all I know is that she’s as beautiful, desirable, and lovely today as the day I met her, and I wouldn’t trade one second with her for a lifetime of rowdiness with one of those harlots you guys have waiting for you back home.

You two don’t know what beauty is.  In a way, I feel sorry for both of you.  I’m not getting on your case, because if there’s one thing I’ve learned from my own sons, it’s that women aren’t what they used to be.

The whole thing is just goddamn pathetic if you ask me.

I’m going to write down what you just said.  Do you mind if I use it on my blog?  A blog is kind of like a newspaper, but people read it on their computer.

I don’t care.

Old Man Philly walked away and started talking to a buyer from JC Penny.  I returned to my phone to see that my former #1 girl who “loves” me had set up a date with some random guy she stalked on Facebook (she ended up fucking him on the second “date” which by her own admission was nothing more than a booty call).  Brooklyn opted to call his wife, but she didn’t answer, and I could tell he was disappointed but not surprised.  He dialed a different number and asked “is she with you?” quickly hung up, mumbled “lying bitch” under his breath, then turned his attention to one of our competitor’s show models to set up a rendezvous for that night.

When the show closed, I opened my laptop and starting writing while Brooklyn stared at the cold concrete floor in a daze.  My #1 girl was out doing what she does best, and evidently, so was his.  We didn’t have to discuss Old Man Philly’s sermon, because our silence said it all. Our minds were on two very sexy, but certainly not beautiful women, and we both knew it.  I think we were a little embarrassed of ourselves, because we both knew better than to get emotionally wrapped up in the ”independent and adventurous” modern women we put in rotation.  It wasn’t the girl’s fault, it was ours and we knew it.

I wonder if my former #1 girl or Brooklyn’s wife will ever have a strong Alpha male talk about them the way Philly talked about his wife?  I highly doubt it.  But once again, a very simple principle is repeatedly ignored by women like this:  They can choose to be sexually popular for a few short years in the eyes of every man, or opt for a lifetime of beauty in the eyes of the one man who loves them.

Beauty isn’t skin deep, and it doesn’t fade.  Beauty is not a physical attribute; it’s an aura that is admired by men and women, young and old alike.  Beauty is a timeless gift given freely and without hesitation as a birth right to all young women, but very few of them recognize, protect, or cherish it.

Philly’s sermon about his wife is proof that women can age beautifully, but unfortunately, it takes a little grace, class and effort *gasp*, so the modern woman opts for being sexy in lieu of being beautiful.  The world is crawling with sexy, ugly women who should not be valued for anything more than whats between their legs – it’s the only thing you can count on out of womankind these days.

Who better to fuck the ugliest of women than the ugliest of men?  Hey, at least my life has purpose.

NEXT!

  1. tweell says:

    And that’s why I haven’t been interested in anyone since my wife passed away, way way too young. Yep, I’m beta through and through (at least in this way) and that’s fine. After true love, having just sex is… not an option.

    [S2: My most sincere condolences. And I don't think that makes you beta at all; betatude comes from wanting ass and not knowing how to get it. Deciding to have a stable relationship or nothing at all is a choice, and probably a healthy one in my opinion.]

  2. G says:

    Times have changed. Put the same women who made great wives to our fathers and grandfathers into the modern environment (post sexual liberation) and I wonder what proportion of them would choose the path of a devoted wife from a young age.

    I think Philly and most men of his generation believe their wives would have behaved the same way in the modern environment, but most of them (99%) would behave exactly as women behave today.

    Women today are the same biological machines they were 50 years ago. It’s the environment – not the women – that has changed.

    [S2: Agreed. I have a post on this topic in the works right now.]

  3. Bob says:

    Wow. The man sounds like my father. And I mean that in the best possible way. Makes you see what we’re missing.

  4. G says:

    The other question is whether modern times lead to more happiness.

    Alpha men are the winners. They get to fuck a lot of women at their prime without commitment. Beta men go through long dry spells and then marry our sexually liberated women as their beauty begins to fade and biological clock begins to tick.

    Why are we the ugliest of men? We are just doing the rational thing for out times.

    Do you really want a life-long partner at the cost of sexual variety? Does lifelong partnership lead to more happiness?

    I have 2-3 attractive and interesting women in my “harem” and I’m perfectly happy replacing them every so often. I get great sex and companionship on demand without the drama of married life. I get solitude when I desire it. The best of both worlds if you ask me.

    I admit that while a handful of men (like me :) ) have it great, overall our society is less happy.

  5. G says:

    Guys – please open my eyes. I mean it. What ARE we missing?

    Are you guys envious (in a good way :) ) of Philly?

  6. Solomon II says:

    @G: Who wouldn’t want a solid relationship with a good woman? Jealous of Philly? Sure I am, but just a little. Those days are long gone, and I shan’t waste my time lamenting. Having a harem and enjoying variety of tail is a very, very, close second best.

    Women say men have a lonely and miserable existence when they’re not legally permanently attached to an aging broad, and betas believe it. Yes, Philly’s situation is ideal for raising a family, but if that’s not important to a man, a small harem of women in their prime is preferable regardless of whether or not “good” women exist.

    I lived and worked in Florida for years, and every time some bitch tells me I’ll be miserable and die a lonely old man for not committing to them, I think of all those old geezers out on the golf courses who were either divorced or their wives passed long ago. They’re nothing but smiles – golf club in one hand, cigar in the other. They seem plenty damn happy to me being single at age 68, 78, and 88 out doing their thing, chasing the old poon living in the retirement community, and being totally obnoxious to cute waitresses.

    I actually consider myself a dirty old man in training.

    This is the most legit post I’ve read from S2 in a while. I really like the old timer’s wisdom, and seek it out, so it’s great to see it on a blog I already read.

    I do hope to be in a relationship like ol’ Philly, but in the interim, ABC–Always Be Closing.

  9. Eumaios says:

    “every time some bitch tells me I’ll be miserable and die a lonely old man for not committing to them”

    Bitches can’t not project. They know they’ll be miserable if they’re alone, so they can’t conceive of us not being the same way.

    This post is easily in the top 5 best man-o-sphere writings ever.

  10. Good stuff, S2. There are still some good young Mrs. Philly types out there. Not many, but a few. And they’re DYING to meet their Mr. Philly. The great sorting continues.

  11. Eumaios says:

    [S2: Excellent link. Thanks for sharing.]

  12. Mei says:

    Philly is right. Most women are different these days. They don’t have much class and respect for themselves or others, but neither do men these days.

  13. A says:

    This whole post takes the attitude of “I would be a better man if she was a better women”. Grow the balls Philly talks about, and take some responsibility. If you want a beautiful women, you should set the example. How can you criticize women for pursuing meaningless sex when that’s all you’re offering?

    [S2: Philly said (scroll back up and read it) that he himself couldn't do a thing with these women, and suggested they needed a punch in the jaw because they're nothing but irreverent, spoiled brats. So in a way, I agree with you. And don't get me started about all the decent looking nice guys I know who can't get a date to save their lives because they're continually passed over for more "exciting" types. Well, until women hit a certain age and their clock starts ticking, anyway. Come on, you see this every day. Judging by your email address, I'm sure you've heard the statement "You can't spell slut without UT". Still it's nice to hear a woman like you make the case that men should lead women to behave in a less whorish way, since women are too caught up in self worship to think objectively for themselves - even if it's not what you intended to say, your message was clear.]

  14. Lisa says:

    @A- Most women aren’t pursuing meaningless sex. They just figure meaningless sex is better than no sex, or sitting home alone. Many of them don’t want to “settle” for a nice, solid “Steady Eddie”, and instead pass over those type of men in favor of “alphas” who treat them shabbily but are better looking or richer than their beta counterparts.

    [S2: Preach!]

  15. Sire says:

    Same old slut shaming. It’s funny that these guys are happy to sleep around but find the same behavior morally revolting in women. They’re not behaving or offering anything better than their female counterparts and yet it’s the women who are spoiled and flawed.

    The whole alpha/beta thing is facinsating. It seems as though you are owed sex, are bitter if you’re not the alpha male and thus resentful when you have to date someone who doesn’t suit your ideal fantasy.

    Who plays these games? I figure if you meet someone, you enjoy their company and fall in love you can be with them. If you’re not into that than you can do your own thing. Some people commit without missing out on sex with other men or women. Do what works for you; we all have our price of admission. It’s your choice whether you want to pay it or not.

  16. Eumaios says:

    “Same old slut shaming.”

    Right. This is a feature, not a bug.

    “It’s funny that these guys are happy to sleep around but find the same behavior morally revolting in women.”

    Funny to provincial moral retards who are ignorant of the prevailing themes of human history.

    “They’re not behaving or offering anything better than their female counterparts”

    Wrong. Master keys are much more valuable than shitty locks.

    “and yet it’s the women who are spoiled and flawed.”

    Men don’t get pregnant.

    “The whole alpha/beta thing is facinsating. It seems as though you are owed sex, are bitter if you’re not the alpha male and thus resentful when you have to date someone who doesn’t suit your ideal fantasy.”

    As Humpty Dumpty once said, “There’s glory for you.”

    “Do what works for you”

    Yes, that’s what we’re doing, you intellectually dishonest, disingenuously inconsistent asshole.

  17. Eumaios says:

    A: “How can you criticize women for pursuing meaningless sex when that’s all you’re offering?”

    How can you criticize men for only offering meaningless sex when that is all women pursue?

  18. Old school vs. New School.

    I have to posit one thing in this discussion; men have not changed through all of this. There have always been womanizing men and while their tactics may have evolved, their goals haven’t changed at all. From the dandies of the 17th Century, through the rakes of the 19th Century to the PUAs of the 21st; these men have been about the same thing from time immemorial. These guys have always been about sexual variety and have made no illusions to the contrary.

    Then there have been the men who are the “Steady-Eddies;” the “stand-up guy,” “the good man.” These are the men who are seeking stable relationships with women and willing to be there for their wives and children. They haven’t changed either.

    And then there are the men who we call “betas” today. These guys who have problems with meeting women and demonstrate self-esteem issues in regards to women. They haven’t changed either.

    In fact, we are pretty much the same men we always have been. Women on the other hand, have changed. A good number of women out there are the same as they always have been, but a lot of women have changed and not all of those changes have been for the better.

    Here is something that feminism has seemed to forget. Men have always needed women and have made no bones about it. The first group of men I mentioned are defined by the number of women that they keep about them. The second are defined by the women who become lifelong companions and help them build their lives. The third group of men sadly, are defined by their efforts to address the lack of women in their lives.

    But some factions of feminism have made a point of convincing women that “they don’t need men” to the extent where some women have gone out of their way to disrespect men and themselves in an effort to try to emulate us.

    This is a bonus for the PUA because now it has made things easier for these men to pick up women as their pool of available “conquests” have expanded and as their concern for women is only superficial, they don’t necessarily care that much for their intrinsic qualities as opposed to their sexual dynamics.

    This change in women’s behavior is a mixed blessing for the “Steady-Eddies” as in the past women were socialized into emulating the model of the “good woman,” and therefore this meant that a larger pool of obtainable women was available. Now that more women have subtracted themselves from this pool, it’s harder for them to find the ideal woman for the lifelong pairings that they seek and it forces them to be more scrutinizing in their choices. But at the same time, odds are better that they will find a woman who fits the qualities that they seek.

    If anything, the ones who have suffered the most from this are the “betas” as now women are now urged to not “settle for second best” as they were in the past, so they have to work harder to try to find a woman who will possibly consider dating or pairing with them. So the result is that many betas are learning PUA tactics and swelling their ranks and some like “Style,” use the PUA lifestyle as a gateway into becoming “Steady-Eddies” and finding lifelong pairings.

    To close, I have to say that Philly’s “good women” are still out there, but they are being obscured by all of the smoke and mirrors being put up by the other women out there.

  19. onasendai says:

    After reading this post i decided to affirm what types of women I was dealing with, I sent five of them this same text:

    Hey I’m available tonight!!! Lets go get some drinks and head back to my place.. Oh yeah wear your pretty underwear I like my presents wrapped…..

    I was expecting one or two of them to put up some resistance, you know have some self respect or to maybe try to tell me they were a lady and they don’t like that talk. Unfortunately I received

    Alright!!!!! :-) (chicks love emoticons)
    Where at?
    What Time ?
    I know what underwear you like.
    you picking me up?
    You’re bad…

    mind you these are women in their thirties………. Clearly this is indicative that good women are rare….

  20. Bros4life says:

    S2 – Everything comes down to a binary solution. Are you happy with your current situation or not? If you’re not happy after Philly’s speech, try some real dating instead of sleeping around, or even stop seeing women for awhile to clear your mind. If you’re happy, then stop feeling sorry for yourself.

    Additionally, are you a racist? If your answer is no, then don’t jumble all women into the title of “modern women” and applying attributes to the group as a whole. You’ll never get beyond seeing any woman in that light unless you start seeing that everyone’s a little different.

    I admit I was an active feminist in college (early to mid 2000′s), but I’ve been with a wide range of women; at times, seeing multiple. I agree, a lot of women are practicing some form of sexual freedom these days, and that’s pretty great. When I meet the right person ( I don’t expect to at age 27 when I’m about to go to grad school, but you never know), I hope it will be someone who’s explored, experimented, and figured out what she wants from life. I wouldn’t want to end up with someone currently in their “sleep around” phase.

    I do not envy Philly – the fact that my 68 year old father who has a firm grasp of technology and the “lingo” we use compared to 70 year old Philly (seriously, he doesn’t know the word “text message”?) should be enough to tell you that Mr. Philly has no idea what he’s talking about when it comes to “modern women”. Society changes, and you need to keep up, or be left as bitter/biased as him. My father dated countless women, married one too young with two sons, divorced her, dated around more during his mid-life crisis, then found my mother (58, slept around and did wild things until age 30 when she married him). He’s been married to her for almost 30 years and they could not be happier. They share everything with each other, support each other, have a balanced relationship. What was his best advice to me? “Just be patient, go out and experience things, and take things one step at a time.”

    I am not beta. I know how to sleep around and not get attached. I know when I’m getting too attached (to the point of “crazy”); I take the lead in dates, in sex, and in relationships as much as I expect to be led (on occasion). I’m not perfect, but I do a pretty impressive job when it comes to making myself and my partner happy. I’m not in a relationship now, and I’m happy about not seeing any women at the moment. If the right person comes along, then it’ll happen when it happens.

    Live in the present, enjoy the moment, and instead of focusing on living up to some title (the player, the alpha, the beta), keep an open mind and be yourself. You yourself have no title (such as “player”) unless you accept and apply one to yourself. The more you apply a title to yourself, to a woman, to a group of people (modern women), then the more your bitterness and prejudice will grow. You will alienate yourself and when that day where the perfect woman you can find beautiful for all eternity strolls into your life, you’ll pass her up because you have this vision of yourself as a “player” and of all modern women as “whores”.

    Stop being biased, and enjoy the moment. Every experience is a new opportunity to figure yourself out and what you really want.

    Peace.

  21. Sire says:

    @ onasendai – So basically you have a casual relationship with 5 different women and they’re the ones with the loose morals. Right. I see it’s do as I say and not as I do.

  22. Anna says:

    So basically Phillys sons have made poor choices regarding marriage and women, so he decides that it’s because modern women are worthless sluts who need to be beaten by a man. It’s not that you raised a couple of monkeys who are not capable of finding a good woman? *Clap, Clap*.

    Oh, they do.

  24. Sid says:

    I’ve read this post three times now.

    The first time, I was fuming. “How dare you talk about women like that? Especially when you’re doing the same fucking thing?!?”

    The second time I reminisced. “I used to be like that. That was me in my early twenties, minus the texts and digital pictures of course (damn, am I that old??)”

    The third time, I became thoughtful.

    I’m thinking about my marriage. About my children. And about myself.

    I’m thinking about how I’m contemplating a divorce because I feel like we’re no longer communicating. We’re no longer working together. Because I feel like he no longer appreciates the wrinkles on my hands that nurture his children. Then I realize, is it him? Is it all him? No, of course not.

    Then I think “Do I want to go back to this time in my life where I saw men as disposable? Back to MY harem of boys?” It sounds dreamy at first, but like you describe above, it’s cheap, it’s ugly, it’s so meaningless.

    Just like men use women and see them as worthless trash, worth nothing more than a fuck, us women often see men just the same. I used men, I had a few on speed dial. I knew they were not in any way, shape or form marriage material. Which was fine, I didn’t want them for marriage. Did they see me the same way? I’m not delusional.

    According to your definition above, I was a whore. But so were the men I fucked. I was ugly and so were they.

    What you describe above is not about women. It’s about people.

    Then I grew up. Just because I was an ugly whore then, doesn’t mean I’m one now. I also know boys who have since turned into men, beautiful men. For me, much of what you describe above is about where we are in life, and just because one is there at one point in their lives, doesn’t mean that person will always be there.

    What you wrote above reminds me of who I really am in my husband’s eyes, and who I want to be. Even though I feel forgotten at times, I know he loves me. I know he loves these saggy tits that feed his children. I know he loves me for me and who I once was. He’s beautiful and so am I.

    Now I think about my children and how we can help them see the value of meaningful long lasting relationships. How do we teach both our son and daughter that people, love and sex should not be cheap, quick nor easy. I hope we can teach my daughter to never see a man the way I once viewed men. And I hope we can teach my son to never see women they way you view women. But first and foremost, I hope we can teach them to never see THEMSELVES as cheap, meaningless and disposable in the first place. That they are worth the effort, time and energy.

    So thank you. Thank you for making me think. Thank you for your perspective. And thank you for reminding me that what I have is worth saving.

  25. I really liked what Philly said – brought tears to my eyes actually. I read your blog quite frequently and tend to agree with you more than I like to admit… Not ALL women are sluts and whores, but there are so many of them out there that you describe….I mean, if you send a slutty picture of yourself to a guy, what can you expect other than for him to treat you like a slut? It’s all well and good to like sex, and want to explore your sexuality – I totally get that. But it doesn’t mean you have to go all out and open your legs to every guy you meet…

    Anyway, I hope I’m lucky enough (and smart enough) to find a man who would look at me the way Philly looks at his wife….

    Great post and blog. I’m envious of Philly, and it’s kind of depressing that we’ll likely never experience love as powerful as what he describes. As of today, I’m happy to pass on that in exchange for a life of sluts and no irresponsibility, but I wonder how I’ll feel in ten years?

    I think this post is really something for the lay-man (pun intended) to study, and like a good movie, learn something different every time you go through it from beginning to end. I like your writing style S2… you should write a book. If you think about it, your decision to blog, versus being tied down to the lengthy process of writing a book, is very much a metaphor for the subject being covered here.

    Allow me to contribute a bit of wisdom as well. Probably the only good piece of advice my mother gave me that stuck with me… the woman you attract is a reflection of yourself.

    What is my point? I have no motivation to claim pro or con on the debate of whether monogamy is the better choice over philandering, much like your friend Philly. I can say with a great deal of certainty, that in most cases, especially those where traditions or religion are the catalyst, monogamy is an exercise in futility. I watched my parents as they bore this burden through gritting teeth for over 20 years until finally the facade shattered, at the most inopportune time of both of their their lives. There is a great body of evidence where cases such as their, and worse, are held up as the linchpin of male-female interaction strategy. This is however profoundly myopic logic. Cases such as theirs should certainly be scrutinized, but only to learn from the mistakes, and never to be mistook for omniscience.

    The great tragedy of our modern age is that our entire thought process has been externalized, making self-reflection and critical thinking obsolete. Where the internet, social networking, and capitalist culture have presented many convenient advantages in many aspects of life, it has atrophied our introspection. Where you wrote, “…our silence said it all.”, is where introspection began to occur, but your context underscores that this private dialogue was taking place in a public way. See, although no man is an island unto himself, we are all spiritual beings having a uniquely human experience.

    This brings me to my conclusion which I hope to share with you. The only gospel is our soul, and its wants are conveyed to us in the utmost subtlety of our subconscious. Therefore, no man can ever state what is right or wrong for another. It is only through our deepest feelings and intuition that we can decided what is right for us. How do I know? I had a very eventful teenage libido, and when it came time for my college career, the only thing I was honestly anticipating was more sweet tang. However, the first girl who I happened to pursue turned out to be my wife. Would you call you this irony? Fate? I call it listening to my intuition… and I hope you all find what is right for you.

    An interesting view point out of the modern (and not so modern man). I have to say Philly’s adoration and respect for his wife is endearing yet I am having trouble with a few concepts you raised and I want to clear them up before i decide to be offended or not :P .

    Are you saying that a woman cant be sexy and beautiful at the same time and that she consciously chooses one over the other? [Nope. I'm saying they should choose to be both. The sexy woman gets the man, the beautiful woman keeps him. If a woman is both, she gets what she wants. If she takes the easy route and goes for sexy but not beautiful, she'll get him sexually, but not be able to keep him long term.] or in your view are the two terms mutually exclusive?

    If a woman is controlling and demanding in a relationship do you truly believe that she is worthless? [Worse than worthless, actually.] and like philly says “deserves to be put in her place”. I have had a man try to “put me in my place before” after I refused to sleep with him on our third date and I don’t believe my actions warranted his. [He sounds like an idiot. If you didn't put out for me by the third date, you'd never see or hear from me again, but I wouldn't give you any shit for it at all.] Why is there such an expectation among men that they are entitled to sex from every woman who walks into their path but if women adopt this attitude they are slut shamed and labeled. [Same reason you claim to be willing to pay for your half of the date, then judge him when takes you up on the offer. You want attention and free shit, and he wants sex. It's that simple. But agreed, you don't owe him sex in exchange for a meal any more than he owes you a relationship for sleeping with him. Remember that the next time you bitch about a man sleeping with you then not calling.] Is it because we are animals and the sex drive is one of the most powerful in our biology, or is it more psychological than biological? And finally to get a grasp of where you are coming from where do you believe a woman’s place truly is? [A womans place is wherever the hell I say it is unless she is 100% self sufficient emotionally, mentally and physically. If so, then she's free to do whatever she wants to do, be whoever she wants to be, and nobody has the right to say anything about it. Ah, but no. Most women want to be strong and/or bitchy when it suits them, but then have a big stwong man hold them wike itty bitty gurls when they feel vulnerable. Thats fine by me, but if I'm to be your rock, if I'm to remain strong no matter what, If I'm to fight off any evil that comes our way, then you can bet your ass I'm going to call the shots.] Please answer honestly and not for political correctness.

    @ Solomon:

    “He sounds like an idiot. If you didn’t put out for me by the third date, you’d never see or hear from me again, but I wouldn’t give you any shit for it at all”.

    Now you’ve lost me. I thought you wanted a woman with high moral values and self-respect. If you were dating a woman who wanted to take things slow (assuming you liked her), why would you drop her?

    [S2: I now have a policy that I won't "date", and by that I mean spend money on dinner, movies, weekends at the museum or a show etc. with a woman who doesn't sleep with me on the first date. Nearly every woman has done that a time or two in her past, and if I don't excite that within her, then I don't want to spend time with her snowflaking ass. Luckily, I'm at a 70% first night close ratio (yes, I did the math) so it's not a big deal. Two of the sweetest, nicest women I've ever dated long term went down on the first date. The biggest snowflaking whores I've ever been with held out for weeks. Make no mistake, I'll stay in the game for a few weeks to tap some ass, but after that, they're gone.]

  38. Lisa says:

    So does that mean you’ve given up on finding an LTR with a woman of character? Assuming you think any exist. If they pay for part of the date, then would you consider waiting for them to be ready to sleep with you?

    [S2: Pretty much what Squared said below. I'll write a post on it sometime in March. Short answer, she sleeps with me on the first date (second date if the first date was during the day at a coffee shop or something) or she's out. I had a woman of character - my sister, actually - change my mind a bit about women of character last week. Her insight about the "good" church girls she deals with was sobering.]

    @Lisa

    “Now you’ve lost me. I thought you wanted a woman with high moral values and self-respect. If you were dating a woman who wanted to take things slow (assuming you liked her), why would you drop her?”

    It’s come to my attention recently that this is an error most women eventually make when commentating in manosphere blogs. Namely, they say something like “if you want this, then why are you acting like that? Hypocrisy!”

    My current girlfriend is an attractive, 24 years old blond who has “only” slept with four other men before me. That’s still a few too many for my liking, but compared to what else is out there, I could certainly be doing worst in this regard.

    With that said, if I were single right now, I too would want a young, beautiful, family-oriented, virginal or quasi-virginal bride to be. And yet, like solomon, I too would drop her like a bad habit if she hasn’t put out by date number three. “Contradiction!!” cried all the women. Actually, no, there is no contradiction. Implicit in this reasoning (although some influential manosphere blogger should really spell it out more clearly in a blog post already, as I’m getting sick of reading comments like these) is the fact that there is an important distinction between what we would truly like in a perfect world, and what, for all intents and purposes, we are forced to settle for. A distinction women by and large fail to recognize.

    In other words Lisa, if you were making this argument in the anglosphere of a century ago, you would have a valid point. At a time when ladies were presumably not extinct, it would have been foolish for any man to expect chastity in a woman he is courting, yet dump her for not behaving like a whore. But this is 2011. And in 2011, I know that if a chick I’m seeing has not put out within the first few meetings, it’s probably not because she’s a paragon of purity and virtue searching for The One, but more likely because she’s a frigid bitch who’s just not that into me, and that I’m probably wasting my time. So yes, at the surface, it might look like I’m betraying my long term ideals in favor of a quick thrill. In reality though, I’m just playing the odds.

  40. finndistan says:

    Or squared, she likes you and you are special.

    That does not prevent her from laying the pipelines with other men in the same time though, who are “not special”.

    I do not date, I have lost countless of opportunities because of that, but I still go that way,

    I could think otherwise, if I have very good reason to think that this woman has not had casual sex before, and taking her on a (second) date would not be investing more than the lowest denominator in her past has invested.

    Otherwise, a woman who has had casual sex, and is asking from me to take it slow, has put herself into the group “Take it slow, till the bang, and then make the exit fast”.

    The divorce rate from 1920 to 1970 in America never dropped below 8 married women per 1000 married women. At the very least 1 in 6 marriages resulted in a divorce during this time.

    Grandma must really be impressed with her deceitfulness when she claims that “in her day” women weren’t bed-hopping whores. And you believe her!

    Kinda makes you wonder why you are stupid enough to believe Grandma, eh?

  44. P.T. Barnum says:

    To be perfectly clear AT LEAST 8 married women per 1000 married women divorced EVERY YEAR.

    With a HUGE spike in 1946 as every American whore married to an even slightly injured WWII Veteran jumped ship with celerity.

    Surprised Grandma left The Great Divorcing out in her little eulogy about staying with Grandfather because “she made a commitment”? She stayed with him because he didn’t get hurt in WWII, never lost his job for a prolonged period of time, and met all the other thousands of criteria required by Grandmother. Later, it became convenient for her to make up some lies.

    American women are raised and trained to be lunatic whores by Momma. Hating their mother is worth 10,000 points with an American woman. For that matter, “her boy” hating his mother is ALSO worth 10,000 points with an American man. Now, of course, Momma says otherwise. Momma is far from disinterested though. Isn’t she? Do you want to compete with Momma for “her boys” affection or don’t you?

    Momma also disapproves of YOUNGER and MORE ATTRACTIVE women using what she doesn’t have any more. It is impossible that ENVY and JEALOUSY play any role in this, as women have never possessed these qualities. Read great western literature with your eyes closed and you will see what I mean.

    All this of course is void if you find someone from the 1/3 or less families whose mother wasn’t a lunatic whore. There will be a lot of “tells” if Momma was in fact a lunatic whore.

    thank you for your honest reply and for clearing up. You are so right, a woman should have the presence of mind to make a decision to be both and accept the consequences of failure. I am curious about your blog as I have found it rare that people will express their thoughts and attitudes with a risk of ridicule or labelling (even if i disagree. its refreshing to read, especially as you are so coherent.

    It is interesting because in the modern era the lines of courtship, beauty and what is considered appropriate have become so crossed and altered and are continually changing, it can be hard to keep track. Everyone has different expectations and attitudes to sex and courtship that it can be hard to not offend or err on the side of sluttish behavior (what ten guys may expect out of a girl on a date e.g sleeping with on the first date may, be wrong to one guy who thinks that putting out on the first date makes you a worthless slut). COurtship varies woman to woman. I and many other ladies always insist on paying for my half of the date (am flattered if the guy demands not but am in no way offended if they take me up on that offer) but other women may as you put it have an “expectation of free shit” when they go on a date.

    I guess the best way to approach is to not hold strict generalisations of behavior of a gender in ones head and just go with the flow. What do you think?
    But each to their own.

  47. Jo says:

    interesting article if very very one sided.

    I agree with @Ruby

    modern dating is so far removed from Phillys generation that you cant hold too stricter beliefs about dating and relationships because everyone is allowed to expect different crap… if you hold such stirct view points of women and dont apply them to guys them you just come off looking like a douche bag. equality of the sexes peeps! spread it around.

    More absurdity:

    P.T. Barnum: My grandmother married my grandfather out of the injured ward at the safe end of WWII. Of course, he was an officer by field-promotion, later retiring a lieutenant colonel. But, yes, she was a lunatic whore.

    There is a difference between having a broken arm, a deep cut in one’s leg, and all manner of extremely painful and TEMPORARILY disabling injuries and a PERMANENT INJURY.

    Now, I ask this only for giggles, did your grandfather have a PERMANENT injury?

    And since he was an officer, even that really isn’t that important..

    Are you denying the 1946 super-spike in divorces? Because it’s there, frighteningly big for all to see. Even in the extraordinarily unlikely event your grandfather had suffered some manner of PERMANENT INJURY.

    “I mean, if you send a slutty picture of yourself to a guy, what can you expect other than for him to treat you like a slut?”
    Even if you (think you) are in a committed exclusive relationship with him?

    There has obviously always been double standard but I do find it’s a bit rich being so critical of these women if it as it seems they’ve been given the impression they are in an exclusive relationship (I may be have understood that wrong but it mentioned different return dates) & one of the men involved is married with at least one child.

    Out of curiosity, what would have been your reaction if one or more of them had said they were a lady and they don’t like that talk? :-)

  53. Lily – No, it’s definitely not the same thing to send a picture of yourself to a man with whom you are in a committed relationship. I’m talking more about the girls who send pics off to guys they just met or have only known for a few months. It took 2 years of being in a committed relationship before I sent a naked pic to my boyfriend – and even then I made sure my face wasn’t showing.

    [S2: Just to prove a point to a friend about rationalization hamsters, I once told a woman how I would pick her up in *very* specific detail at brunch. She laughed at me and said I wasn't her type, but two weeks later she was ass up. So I guess it never hurts to try.]

  56. Solomon – I guess you missed the post (that is now private) where I posted pics of myself. Face was blurred out, but you could get the general idea.

My Will Be Done

Posted on March 24, 2011 by

January 10, 2011 by Solomon II 6 Comments

I love catchphrases.  You may recall the buddy I wrote about who left me with the gem “Those are the rules”, which fast became one of my favorites.  This post won’t go live for several weeks, but even as I sit here writing it, I’ve been able to deliver the “Those are the rules” line a half dozen times already with moderate success.  Still need to tweak my delivery a bit though.

Another good friend I have who’s most famous line up until now has been “Dinner and a movie? Fuck that.  Take that bitch to the RedBox and make her go in half on some Jiffy Pop” has come up with a new catch phrase of his own. It’s not unusual for him to text me sordid stories of PUA shenanigans complete with photographs – stories that make even a guy like me think “this dude has some balls”.  He lives close and actually introduces me to these girls who bitch about what an asshole he is, so I know he’s not bluffing.  He often refers to himself as a King and says everywhere he goes is his rightful domain.  Needless to say, his flavors of the week are usually not impressed with his Royal decrees.

As time marches on, I’ve started noticing a trend in his text messages and personal conversations with me.  He tells a story, shows the pics, my jaw hits the floor in adoration of the most shameless player I’ve ever known, he smirks, then says “My will be done”.

My will be done: A catchphrase turned philosophy turned reality for this self proclaimed King.

While I’m certainly envious of him because he lives it so freely while I have to write a fucking post about it in order to remind myself, I have to give this man his due.  Roissy and Rush V aint got a thing on this guy.

So here’s my Kingly affirmation vis-à-vis My Will Be Done:

I am a man, and as a man, I am the King and ruler of my domain.  Anywhere and everywhere I step foot is my territory.  The air I breathe is mine, and those who share it do so because I allow it.  I control my destiny, rule by god-given authority, and am responsible for the emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing of my Kingdom.

Any time a woman upsets my Kingdom, it is my fault because she cannot do so unless I give consent. She is in my castle by invitation only, and is therefore a guest who should be gracious and respectful to her host.

Unless she proves herself worthy, she will never be allowed to become a citizen of my country because she is an outsider and her loyalties lie elsewhere. Any and all transgression of the law will be viewed as an act of terrorism against my Kingdom and will result in public humiliation followed by swift punishment.

Should she approach my domain with grace and humility, I will look kindly upon her and allow her to abide with me as long as she is contributing to my society.  Otherwise, she is not my advisor, confidant or Queen, and she will not demand to be treated as such.

I will not be subjected to her emotional turmoil, for her matters are insignificant compared to my duties as Sovereign Ruler.  I will not lower myself from my throne to pay special attention to her, nor will I consider her wants, needs, or wishes above my own or of those in my Kingdom.

If she betrays my Kingdom, off with her head.  If she does not show loyalty to the throne, off with her head, if she does not make a contribution to my Kingdom, off with her head.  If she dares approach my throne without meekness and reverence, off with her head.

I alone am responsible for the prosperity of my Kingdom and its populace.  I will answer to myself for the success or failure of my leadership.  I owe it to myself and to my people to protect the Kingdom from outside forces that would seek to weaken its foundation for personal gain, therefore I will not allow foreigners to influence or change my culture.

I will build walls around my castle and ignore shaming language about being guarded.  I will amass a mighty army and ignore shaming language about being  defensive.  I will not be swayed by a woman’s manipulation tactics and ignore shaming language about being jaded.

Every lie I tell and every truth I put forth will have purpose.  Every battle I fight, I will fight to win.  I will rule based on principle and never emotion, thus providing a sense of normalcy and stability for those who rely on my judgment.  I will be the man I would want my son to be, and only commit to a woman whom I would want my daughter to be.  I will lead by example, be kind to the simple, and harshly judge those I deem fools.

I am the King of my domain.  My will be done.

Proverb 24: Jealousy

Posted on March 24, 2011 by

December 28, 2010 by Solomon II 6 Comments

Jealousy is considered to be a natural human trait, and almost a given in men.  Even the good book itself refers to jealousy as divine in the 20th chapter of Exodus where God rebukes his people for worshiping false idols by saying “You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God…”  Jealousy is thematic throughout the bible as a good and natural reaction (well, when it fits the storyline anyway) and continues into the New Testament when the Apostle Paul writes to the Church at Corinth “I am jealous for you with a Godly jealousy…”

The God of the Old Testament is an Alpha badass, but the God of the New Testament is a Beta pussy.  Out of jealousy, the Old Testament God would swallow you up and kill you, allowing your freshly orphaned children to die of starvation in the wilderness while men from a competing tribe fuck your wife.  The New Testament God will forgive you and offer you a free pass into heaven by willingly dying on a cross.

Not surprisingly, its the New Testament approach women seek out of their men today.  They want to take the praise and adoration rightfully due to their man and give it to another whilst receiving nothing but forgiveness in return. They demand the right to sacrifice the permanent on the altar of the immediate, and any man who refuses to be nailed to an emotional cross and die for their relationship sins in not worthy of being their Savior.

I prefer the Old Testament approach.

Not too long ago, a girl I’m quite fond of started fucking another guy.  I didn’t mind since she was still fucking me too, so no worries.  She knew I had a few girls in rotation at the time, so there wasn’t too much jealousy between us.

One night she was in my bed texting this guy and talking about the nudie pics she’d sent him. I asked her “You didn’t send him the one you sent me, did you?  You know, my favorite one?” She said “No.  I’d never do that to you.  That was special for us.”

The bullshit sirens started going off in my mind, but I let it go.  Besides, if he’s fucking her, why the hell do I care if she sent him that one specific picture?

Because its mine.  That’s why.

Needless to say, two weeks later she let it slip that my favorite pic is now his favorite pic.  I became angry at her for lying to me, and jealous that this guy now shared something permanent with me.  I knew she’d get tired of fucking him sooner or later, but that picture would always be his. So we launched a little tit for tat exchange.  She brought up me fucking her friend two hours before fucking her, and sliding in a different girl she didn’t know about on a night I spent with her.  I brought up the fact that she hasn’t told me the truth about one single thing the entire year I’ve known her, and suggested she have her thigh joints replaced with hydraulic lifts to take some of the workload off her back.

That didn’t go over very well.

Anyway, after about a week of being jealous of my #1 girl, it dawned on me: God is jealous because he’s God, and everything in creation is rightfully his.  I am not God, so I do not have the right to be jealous simply because what I thought was mine clearly wasn’t.  In my case, jealousy was a wasted emotion.

Men, we’re only jealous of things we value – things we consider to be rightfully ours.  But in actuality, jealousy for us is nothing more than the realization that what we thought was ours really wasn’t.

I thought my #1 girl was mine, and I thought my favorite picture was mine, so I assigned value to it.  When it became evident that neither was mine, I became jealous.  I should have recognized that the jealousy I was experiencing was simply a wakeup call for me to stop overvaluing my #1 girl and the things I thought were special between us.

So unless you’re God and have the power to make the earth open up and swallow your woman to the pits of hell when she causes you to be jealous by showing attention to other men, you only have two other options.  The first is to crawl up on that relationship cross and forgive her, and the second is to reassign her value to an appropriate level.

Guess which one I recommend…

Things have changed quite a bit with my #1 girl since then.  She’s apologized for sending this guy my favorite pic when she knew I wouldn’t approve and then lying about it.  I’ll never forgive her (another thing I don’t have to do because I’m not God), but as I write this, I’m looking forward to seeing her in that smoking hot red dress tonight at a mutual friend’s annual Christmas Eve Eve party.  I’ve lowered her value in my mind and no longer expect the truth from her on anything of a private matter, and I no longer consider the things we share to be simply between the two of us.  Thanks to jealousy, I realized that I couldn’t have any sort of relationship with her outside of a physical one if it required trust of any kind.  She probably feels the same way about me, but that’s for her to blog about.

Jealousy exposes poor judgment in a man.  Jealousy is nature’s way of letting a man know that he has assigned too high of a value to a particular person or event.  If you’re living with jealousy over a girlfriend or an ex, you have placed her in a category higher than she deserves.

Remember, jealousy is nothing more than ego food for women – ego food made from the ground up emotions of feeble minded betas.  So if you find yourself fighting the demons of jealousy, fix it, chalk it up to poor decision making on your part, course correct, and never let it happen again.

Protect that which is yours, but never be jealous of that which can be given away by someone else.

    “God is jealous because he’s God, and everything in creation is rightfully his. I am not God, so I do not have the right to be jealous simply because what I thought was mine clearly wasn’t. In my case, jealousy was a wasted emotion. Men, we’re only jealous of things we value – things we consider to be rightfully ours. But in actuality, jealousy for us is nothing more than the realization that what we thought was ours really wasn’t.”

    Outstanding quote.

    If you are not careful other bloggers will get “jealous” when you steal readers that “rightfully” belong to them.

    @OhioStater: Thanks a bunch. I don’t write to be popular, I write so I don’t shoot someone. Still, it’s good to be appreciated.

    People seem to think that following Christ makes one a wuss. Quite the opposite, as Christ spoke to power, and ruffled a lot of powerful feathers.

    I’ m inclined to disagree. Jealousy is hard wired and ubiquitous among males. You can manage it but why fight it? Surpressing natural inclinations tends to be counterproductive in my mind. In the above example you discounted your jealously because you reasoned you were messing with other girls so it’s ok for her too. However, your jealous inclinations fit the Alpha model. A man of status often keeps more than one woman while insisting exclusitivity from them i.e. the double standard. Not very PC but historically congruent.

    [S2: Experiencing jealousy is Alpha, but sustaining it and living with it is Beta. Any time spent being jealous over a woman is time wasted that could be spent finding her replacement. Not historically congruent, but a damn good idea.]

New Year’s Resolutions

Posted on March 24, 2011 by

December 26, 2010 by Solomon II 10 Comments

It’s good to be back after my month off.  I hope each and every one of you had a great Holiday season and are ready to start the New Year with the gusto of a marketing girl with daddy issues and the resilience of a rationalization hamster on steroids.

I can’t even imagine how many New Year’s Resolution posts are floating around the interwebs right now, so thanks for reading mine.  Here are the promises I’m making to myself for 2011, partially inspired by Wyatt Earp, James Bond, and James Kirk:

I. I am going to start reading my own blog.  There’s some solid material here – blatantly plagiarized and original alike, and I’d do well to take my own advice.  I will remind myself that knowledge is useless unless put into practice on a daily basis.

II. I will not be with more than two women at a time. I’ve been running three and four at a time, but I’m too old and busy to keep that up.  It’s actually starting to become more of a chore than anything else.  As always, the hotter the bitch, the stronger her entitlement monkey and louder her rationalization hamster, so I think I’ll keep one 8/9 for pride and one 6/7 for comfort.  I’ll switch them out when I get bored.

III. I’m done being blinded by beauty.  I will not take an ounce of shit from a woman in 2011 regardless of how beautiful she is or how much I want to keep her around. I will become an Alpha Cowboy of the Wyatt Earp kind: I’ll treat her like a lady when she acts like one, and hang her by the neck until dead if she crosses the line.  There will be no middle ground, no second chances, and no more “working through it”.  My life may be temporarily inconvenienced as forgiveness gives way to justice, but the end result will be worth it.

IV. I have 14 pounds to drop. I’ll do it before March 1st.  I need to tone up.  I’ll do it before June 1st.  I’m going to do my dead level best to bang my first “perfect 10” this summer.  A better body, false promises of commitment, and two tickets to the Canary Islands ought to do it.  All women are for sale spontaneous, so I just need the right currency to attract them.

V. I’m the type of person for whom being right is only part of the goal.  In addition to being right, I have a strange urge to confirm that everyone else understands my thinking.  If they disagree, that’s fine, I just need to be understood. I need to let this go and adopt a 007 persona: get in, kill my target, and get out without being caught.  It doesn’t matter if I get the credit or not, and it doesn’t matter who understands or agrees with me. My life will be simpler when I complete my James Bond 007 mission and get out without trying to melt a snowflake.  I can’t let my pride get in the way when they rationalize the breakup later, surround themselves with friends who assure them “they deserve better” and ultimately blame me for their fate.  Let cock #47 try to teach her a lesson, not me.  It’s a fool’s quest anyway.

VI. Courtesy of the commenter “Squared” on the post Run Forrest, Run I will adopt this policy when it comes to having female friends: “If I’m not fucking you now, fucking you soon, or using you to fuck other girls, you’re useless to me”.

VII. Like Captain Kirk, I will explore strange new worlds.  I will travel for pleasure instead of just for business, meet new people, and expand my social circle at home.  I can be a loner at times, and I’m going to change that. Snowflakes fall and melt, but when the weather changes, all a man has is his friends.

VIII. Even though I’m already doomed to burn for eternity in a Lake of Fire, I’m going to volunteer at the Children’s Hospital this year.  I’m starting in April when my Q1 travel schedule settles down.

IX. I will not give a traditional wedding to any woman who can’t give me a traditional honeymoon.  If she can ignore the outdated tradition of chastity, I can ignore the outdated tradition of marital commitment.  I realize this premise is unrealistic.  I also realize that the premise of a truly happy marriage is unrealistic at my age, since any woman worth a shit is married or engaged by the age of 25.  In addition, I will not give a greater level of respect or commitment to any woman than the least amount of respect or commitment she’s demanded from any other man.  I will not pay full retail price for outdated, used or damaged goods.

X. There’s no future in being a better man, so I will work hard to become a better woman.  I will give myself free reign to do whatever I want whenever I want, and I will do so with impunity.  I will demand the best for myself because I deserve it, and shame those who do not immediately offer it.  I will be faithful to my partner when it suits me, and adventurous when it doesn’t.  I will be bad and demand nothing but good in return.  I want it all, and I want you to give it to me right now.  I will find power and self confidence by being sexually promiscuous while ignoring the fact that I’m not accomplishing anything that your average chimp at the zoo hasn’t. I will demand that you accept, embrace and celebrate my actions because I am being true to my exceptionally unique self. I will righteously criticize those who engage in the exact same behavior I do, because unlike them, I’ll do it with style. Most importantly, if my Sex and the City lifestyle doesn’t pan out, I’ll blame it on whoever or whatever is closest to me.

    You’re not alone. It becomes easier to clam up when you realize that nobody would have understood you anyway.

  2. Solomon II says:

    @Eumaios: I’m getting better at it. I think the kicker is when I call a situation with 100% accuracy, nobody gets it, then my predictions come true and I say “See? This is EXACTLY what I said would happen.” and STILL nobody gets it.

    Had a good female friend (smart, beautiful, educated, etc.) get played like a fiddle only two weeks ago. I called it every step of the way since she shared their convo and texts with me. I couldn’t help her see what this guy was doing. Of course she quickly fucked him, then it all went to PUA hell. He treated her like the cheap piece of ass she is, and now she hates him for it. She hates the man she approached like a slut, interacted with like a slut, and slutted it up with on the second date for treating her like a slut. It’s all his fault.

    To this day, the only thing I can get out of her is “Well, you were kind of right, but…”

    I’ll stand by and watch it happen again, no doubt. Same old script, same old production. Only the actors playing the leading men will change.

    Good stuff. Number IX looks rather like Edited ;)

    [S2: He was a smart man indeed. Brilliant, really. Handsome devil too.]

  4. Lisa says:

    Impressive list. I like VIII. You’ll have wiped the slate clean and who knows, maybe you’ll meet a sweet, wholesome nurse who can give you that traditional honeymoon you long for.

    I have to say, this looks like stuff you already do-looks like the only real resolution is to get that elusive “perfect 10.”

    Happy New Year to you and all your readers!

    [S2: Wholesome nurse? I think they keep those with the unicorns. And yes, most of the list echoes things I already do in part, but it's time to do them consistently. Developing a second nature of sorts. As for the other, I already let one perfect 10 slip (stupid morals) but I wont let it happen again.]

  5. Willy says:

    Good to have you back!

    I love X. Of course I trust its satire. We don’t need any more male adoption of female traits.

  6. WP says:

    It is borderline depressing to meet/interact with an X-archetype person (male/female). Depressing in the sense that I have some hope for “people” in general.

    I’m not sure if its defense mechanisms or the rationalization hamster taking extra doses of roids, but by age 40+, those people have some seriously chilling repressed issues.

    (I was recently cougar hunting and got to speak in depth, over quite a period of time, with 2 45ish y/o women, 1 with kid california blonde, 1 without kids japanese national expat to USA, both divorced, ). Seriously, once you understand their inner workings… scary.

  7. Double E says:

    I live in Tokyo. Dear God and little catfish, I’ve never seen anything as scary as an aggressive divorced Japanese cougar.

    Solomon: As I see it, there are maidens, matrons, and harlots. We may have to pretend to deal with the harlots on equal terms, but why stress about anything that happens to them?

    Rhetorical question, as it happens. Some of the harlots are our friends and sisters. So I care, without sympathizing in the least.

    [S2: Wisdom and understanding are a match made in man heaven. "So I care, without sympathizing in the least." is a fine example of how men should approach the harlots in their lives. I know plenty of them, and I truly do care about their well being, but I don't feel a bit sorry for them when they make the same mistakes over and over and over.]

  10. finndistan says:

    Number IX hits a spot which affects most men.

    Most women are not able to provide a traditional honeymoon, and are not willing to hold on to the promises made by the wedding wows.

    Most women still demand the man to provide his traditional roles, defined by state, church, mosque and society, while she will at any time provide a role that she decides is the right one, at that given time.

    Men are the only ones to break this cycle.

    Do not commit if she is not worth it, and do not marry if she will not fulfill the role marriage asks for.

    In addition, I will not give a greater level of respect or commitment to any woman than the least amount of respect or commitment she’s demanded from any other man. I will not pay full retail price for outdated, used or damaged goods.

    The number one rule to apply when selecting for long term.

    Though I could be lenient if she had one, two or three casual sex instances, which did not get repeated as they felt wrong. Everyone makes mistakes. Four strikes you’re out. (Comes from the sayings “God gives three chances”. “The fourth jump kills the grasshopper”, folklore does have its truisms)

    I do not remember who said it, “She needs to worship your dick”
    She cannot worship it if she has tasted the better dicks who would only rodeo with her under the condition of no strings being attached.
    No matter who you are, there is always a better dick. Always.
